The Real Garden Road
Trip, Elspeth Bradbury and Judy Maddocks
Travel writing with a
twist: two garden lovers trek across Canada to find "real
gardens and real gardeners." They meet more than 80
gardeners and observe a vegetable garden on a boat,
a tropical garden on an island, an arboretum on a balcony,
a garden on a cliff, a Japanese garden, a Doukhobor
garden, and many others. Bradbury, a landscape architect,
provides narrative description of the journey and the
gardens they find; Maddocks provides lively journal
entries revealing the essence of the people who create
these gardens.
