The Way of the Gardener - by Lyndon Penner

The Way of the Gardener is a unique and captivating memoir that combines nature writing, natural history, and travel writing in a way that will delight readers.

Lyndon Penner's attention lies elsewhere than the traditional spiritual transformation of pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago; instead, he revels in the plants, trees, and flowers that tell the history of the people and ecology of northern Spain.

With wry observations of nature, himself, and other pilgrims on the road, Penner reveals the beauty and darkness of the human condition while underscoring the deeply fascinating nature of nature itself.

This textured work makes for perfect armchair or garden reading, offering a refreshing perspective on the Camino that defines horticultural tourism.
