Moss also shares with readers key garden lessons that she has culled from her time spent exploring magnificent gardens around the world, including French and Italian, English and Russian, private and public, and also the gardens of great women, past and present.

An extensive resource guide of notable gardens to visit is also included. With this verdant volume, Moss shows us—implores us—that “to behold our own patch of beauty and pleasure” (in Edith Wharton’s words) is not beyond our reach.
