<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p><b>Life lessons from the ground up. </b><p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>Life lessons from the ground up. </b> <p><i>Sometimes you reap what you sow. Sometimes you reap what other people sowed. Sometimes you haven't got a clue what you are sowing, and sometimes you just get lucky, or unlucky. All these things are true of life, as of gardening. </i></p> </p> <p>In this thoughtful and beautifully observed book, journalist and gardening enthusiast Margaret Simons takes readers on a journey through the seasons, through her life, and through the tiny patch of inner-urban earth that is home to her garden. </p> <p> Over the course of a year, within the garden and without, there are births to celebrate and deaths to mourn; there are periods of great happiness and light, and times of quiet reflection. There is, in other words, all the chaos, joy, sorrow, and splendor of being alive. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"In <i>Six Square Metres</i> Margaret Simons, queen of the tiny vegetable garden, heartened me with her radiant pragmatism." <br />--<b>Helen Garner</b></p> <p>"In the tradition of Germaine Greer, Vita Sackville-West, and Katharine S. White, Simons proves herself a modern doyenne of wry garden writing." <br />--<b><i>Publishers Weekly</i></b> <p>"[A] considered and meticulously observed book written by an author who is willing to share the tribulations and joys of a blended family, a fast-paced life and the endless smell of French fries. By doing so, she permits us to consider our own plot--in life and in gardening." <br />--<b>Chris Gordon, Readings Bookstore</b></p> <p>"A mix of sunny optimism and beady-eyed realism, Simons's memoir celebrates the small joys and 'sheer stubborn hope' of both gardening and family life." <br />--<b><i>Shelf Awareness</i></b></p><br>
