Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Gardening on rooftops, balconies, and terraces is a popular trend. After thirty-five years of experience, Susan Brownmiller writes with honesty and humor about her oasis twenty floors above a Manhattan street. She reports the catastrophes: losing daytime access during building-wide renovations; assaults from a mockingbird during his mating season. And the joys: a peach tree fruited for fifteen years; the windswept birches lasted for twenty-five. Butterflies and bees pay annual visits. She pampers a buddleia, a honeysuckle, roses, hydrangeas, and more. Her adventures celebrate the tenacity of nature, inviting readers to marvel at her gardens resilience, and her own. Enhanced by over thirty color photographs, this passionate account of green life in a gritty, urban environment will appeal to readers and gardeners wherever they dwell. Big city highrises are chockfull of penthouses and terraces that garden innocents hope to turn into a sylvan paradise or a bower of roses. That's at least what they see in movies and real-estate ads. With honesty and humour, and thirty-five years of challenges and triumphs, best-selling author, Susan Brownmiller describes her battle to sustain an oasis of beauty twenty floors above street level in Manhattan. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9780813588896
