A review by scribepub
Philosophy in the Garden by Damon Young
A gentle dig for ideas about how to live — this book will grow your mind and put a glow in your cheeks.
Deborah Levy, author od Swimming Home
Erudite, yet witty and accessible, [Philosophy in the Garden] is intellectual history at its most completely pleasurable.
Oliver Burkeman, author of The Antidote
A brilliant philosophical and literary meditation that helps us rethink our relationship with the natural world — and with ourselves.
Roman Krznaric, author of Empathy and How to Find Fulfilling Work
This is a gardening book that takes readers not on a walk around great estates but on a tour of great minds…It's a lovely extension on the notion that gardens make you contemplative and in working with the soil you see life's big picture.
The Daily Telegraph
[T]hought-provoking … fine book.
Gardens Illustrated
[L]ucid and entertaining … an enjoyable and erudite addition to a burgeoning literature.
