About
The Author
Victor K. Pryles
Victor K. Pryles
started his love of gardening at the age of nine. His mother,
an exceptional gardener, would always bring him into her
garden, where he found the beauty and joy of seeing something
grow out of the earth, a true delight. Many years later he
would develop his own considerations of how to best garden.
This book is the culmination of his thirty years of gardening
experiments, both the successes and the failures.
In spite of his work as
a business consultant, a working photographer, a writer, and a
broadcaster in American major markets, he eventually realized he
needed 'time' to garden. It was a discovery that he could make
sure the feel of the earth in his hands, which always brought
him a sense of joy, could find a place in his busy life
experience.
"Loving nature is a
simple thing", he says. "When you become a part of the wonder of
sun, plant, and earth, you can really find yourself. It's a
remarkable marriage once you find out how to join your
professional life with this marvelous activity called gardening.
My problem was how to manage it all and work in this complex
world we are forced to confront."
This book is his effort
to make the 'work' of gardening a pleasure that you can enjoy.
The Weekend Gardener- A
Busy Person’s Guide To A Beautiful Backyard Garden is designed
to bring the simple, yet magnificent experience of gardens, to
everybody's backyard. Accomplishing this is really possible,
regardless of how stressed and 'time-crunched' you may be in
this new millennium.
Once you find the time
to garden and discover the happiness that this pastime affords,
you will agree with the author that the best experiences are
always very, very close; as close as your own backyard.
