My Garden (Book)

In My Garden, Jamaica Kincaid invites listeners into her world of gardening, sharing her personal journey with a small plot in Vermont where she cultivates her favorite flowers. Through her passionate and discerning perspective, Kincaid expresses her loves and dislikes, from the beauty of spring to her aversion to winter, while reflecting on gardening's deeper implications, particularly in the context of her Antiguan roots. She also explores her experiences at the Chelsea Flower Show and visits historic English gardens, creating an intimate and engaging portrait of gardening and its practitioners.
