In her new book, In the Garden, Adelaide poet Miriel Lenore draws on her skills as storyteller, and delves into myth, lore, science and history to evoke the life of a great garden, the Adelaide Botanic Garden. Here are sequoia, arbutus, lotus pond, Palm house and Greek statuary. Lenore brings both a light touch and a deep reflexiveness to each subject, continually opening out fresh prospects. This, the sixth of Lenore's adventurous and accomplished collections, will speak to all those who cherish gardens.
