About this listen

Gardening is not a hobby but a passion: a mess of excitement and compulsion and urgency and desire. Those who practise it are botanists, evangelists, freedom fighters, midwives and saboteurs; we kill; we bleed. No, I can't drop everything to come in for dinner; it's a matter of life and death out here.

Rhapsody in Green is a glorious celebration of the life of an urban gardener, told with the trademark wit and warmth of prize-winning novelist Charlotte Mendelson.

This is not your typical guide to gardening. While listening, you will find no advice on topiary, or strimming, or tending to your greenhouse. But if you are attuned to the subtlety of difference between chicories and radicchios; if you cannot pass a packet of seeds without the desire to empty your bank account; or if you, too, long to one day, someday, own a small but emphatic apple orchard in your not-quite-rectangle, suburban garden . . . this is the audiobook for you.

Related in a series of uproarious vignettes, and narrated by the author herself, Rhapsody in Green is a love song to the joys, and pitfalls, of gardening in all its surprising forms.
