In One Small Garden, Barbara Nichol brings together stories, memories, and botany to create a book that is as unique and lush as a summer garden. Here, plants from all over the world live and eventually die. Ants, raccoons, and a stray cat cross paths with a lost cockatoo who originated thousands of miles away. Stories and memories of people share space in the garden too.

This is the perfect book for those who understand the enchantment and the wild-at-heart nature of the primmest garden. This is a book to treasure for the whole family. “The delicate watercolors provide fertile ground for the urban legends, gardening lore and tender tales about humanity’s relationship with nature.”
–Publishers Weekly

“…a lovely volume with a leisurely pace.… A small jewel of a book for readers, both adults and children.…”
