It probably doesn't often happen that a book is written in English, translated into Italian, and then edited and published in Italian while the rough draft in the original language sits around for months while the author picks it apart and tries to clean it up, but that's what I'm doing at the moment. I also am collaborating with the London-based painter David Hollington to combine my words with his illustrations. The text and images should be ready to propose to publishers by September of 2018.

Recording the life of a garden -- telling the stories of its plants, animals, and even people, with words and images -- has been a passion of mine for several years. Remembering the first evening the nightingale sings every year might not be interesting for some readers, but the perennial patterns I notice and the little surprises that come while I work in the garden give me great joy, and that is what I would like to share with others.

Quotes by Clark A. Lawrence (?)

“A real garden is what I would call a parcel of land - any size, anywhere, with any plants or no plants - that is loved and nurtured. It's a personal place, probably enclosed in some way, and imbued with a person's spirit, a gardener's spirit. I'm sure many people think being a gardener sounds like a horrible job. I think it's one of the most rewarding occupations anyone could have – I mean to physically make gardens, not just sit down and design one (let's leave that to the designers), and not just take care of grass and plants (maintenance workers can do that). To dedicate your entire being and all the passion and time and knowledge you have to working with plants and shaping them into a living, personal artwork. That's what a real gardener does, and that's why “half-gardener” is already a compliment.”
