Gardens are a diverse lot and their designs are innumerable. In this book of seventy or so poems, the concentration is on flower gardens. The poems start with general observations about gardening, progress through the seasons, and end with poems on specific flowers grown by the author. Bury a Silver Spoon is one of a series of Hobbyist poems published by Leaning Tree Adventures. Look for the others.
