Bestselling author Cynthia Reyes returns with Twigs in My Hair, about her lifelong passion for gardens and nature and the surprising relationships and events involved. Gorgeous photographs by Hamlin Grange complement this humorous and profound story. You may conclude, after reading Twigs in My Hair, that a gardener's love for growing things swings from reverence to passion. But there's also a deeply emotional side to this story about what happens when a passionate gardener can no longer do what she loves. A beautiful gift for gardeners and non-gardeners.Praise for Twigs in My Hair“Her best book yet! Cynthia’s most recent memoir takes us on a journey through the various gardens of her life: the wonder, magic and miracle of her childhood gardens; the gardens she and her husband “negotiate” as a newly married couple; the apprenticeship gardens of family and community; and finally, the mature garden of acceptance. It is a journey full of insights, humour, and struggle, but ultimately, one of growth and the recognition that by nurturing our gardens we nurture ourselves.” Jean Gairdner, author and lifelong gardener.“How obstinate does a wisteria have to be before you resort to verse? How do you get a fox to pee in a bottle? Cynthia's zestful pursuit of beauty in the gardens of her life is told with her characteristic warmth, humour and honesty. Along the way we meet many friends – human and animal – and absorb her shining examples of passion, patience and, finally, grace. This is a story for our times.” Dr. Hilary Custance Green, gardener and author of Border Line, a novel.Whether you are a seasoned gardener or a complete novice, you'll see yourself somewhere in these pages, and I guarantee you'll garner some inspiration for your own gardening life.” Sheryl Normandeau, master gardener and author of Little Leaves: Intensive Gardening Goes Micro.CYNTHI
