<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>Reverence takes on a new meaning in this original memoir of an avid gardener walking the Camino de Santiago</b> <p/> The Camino de Santiago has been a journey for pilgrims for more than 1,000 years, testing--to varying degrees--their spirit, faith, and physical endurance. Lyndon Penner's attention lies elsewhere. A renowned gardener and lover of literature, he revels in the plants, trees, and flowers that tell the history of the people and ecology of northern Spain. <p/> Brimming with wry observations--of nature, himself, and other pilgrims on the road--<i>The Way of the Gardener </i>reveals the beauty and the darkness of the human condition while underscoring the deeply fascinating nature of nature itself. This textured work makes for perfect armchair--or garden--reading.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Lyndon Penner grew up in Saskatchewan and comes from a long line of gardeners. He is a traveller, environmentalist, and lover of literature, and the author of several books, including <i>Native Plants for the Short Season Yard</i>.<br> </p>
