Heart and soil : the revolutionary good of gardens / Des Kennedy. by Kennedy, Des. Harbour Publishing, 2014. Call #: 635.02 K35h Subjects Kennedy, Des -- Anecdotes.   Gardening -- Anecdotes.   Novelists, Canadian -- 20th century -- Anecdotes.   Journalists -- Canada -- Anecdotes.   Environmentalists -- British Columbia -- Biography. ISBN:  9781550176322 (pbk.) Description:  224 p., [16] p. of plates : col. ill. ; 23 cm. Notes:  Includes index. Summary:  "Writer, environmentalist and gardener Des Kennedy has gathered together his best, most outrageous and most contemplative articles and essays of the past decade into a book full of playful wit and insight. Kennedy recounts one newspaper's April Fool's Day prank that had men across the UK buying heather in order to propagate a poor-man's Viagra, expands on his trials creating a sod sloped roof, admits he once wanted to write a stump-puller's guide to the universe and contemplates the dark beauty--and rat feces smell--of a voodoo lily. The articles are tied together with Kennedy's assertion that gardening is a revolutionary act of maintaining harmony with nature that intertwines the human spirit with the natural world. For those who admire earth's raw beauty, Heart and Soil is a collection from a respected Canadian who has dedicated his life to protecting and respecting the environment, cultivating his passion with a healthy sprinkling of humour. Des Kennedy is an award-winning journalist, broadcaster, author and environmental activist. He is the author of four books of essays including a memoir, The Passionate Gardener, and three novels including Climbing Patrick's Mountain. Noted as one of the most influential personalities on the Canadian gardening scene, Kennedy writes a regular column for BC Living magazine and has been a columnist for the Globe and Mail. He lives on Denman Island, BC"--Provided by publisher. Genre:  Essays.
