I love that you mentioned Plant Dreaming Deep. So many of Sarton's books delved into her love of gardening and I've enjoyed reading and re-reading them over the years.
I know exactly what you mean by not being able to part with garden books. Years ago, I wrote about gardening for the Tampa Bay Times, and many many garden books were sent to me gratis from the publishers (hoping for a review). I saved each and every one. Some are huge, expensive photo books full of beautiful garden pictures. I treasure them!
Oh awesome! That is a listed book here at The Nature of Reading Bookshop.
Hailey Brock is so super-kind and thoughtful - finds fabulous reads (I take lots of notes 😃). I’m in her local climate change book club. She has a long-distance membership:

Another May Sarton fan! I actually went and visited her home in York, Maine.
Lucky you! I just did a google search and saw that it was torn down a few years ago.
What??? It looked out on the ocean from afar...Rayne's Neck.

ah yes - the books that show up in your life...they are so hard to part with.

I am reading Merlin Sheldrake's book, The Entangled Life.

Would love to read with you Jan, if that might be of interest. January climate change club is “On Time and Water” by Andri Snaer Magnason.
I will look it up! Right now I have several landscape projects so not much extra time - ha ha!
I think the only garden book I ever parted with was a duplicate (LOL), which I donated to our wonderful local library.
