Excerpt from From the Garden of Hellas: Translations Into Verse From the Greek Anthology To James Russell Lowell. Life's brightest memories around you cling, Child, girl, and woman, I have loved you long, My friend, my poet, if I too may sing, To yon is dedicate my wreath of song. Yet it should be of fairer flowers than grow Within my garden wall. This wreath I twine In Beauty's fields, where deathless blossoms glow, The hand that gathers them alone is mine.

Jane Shaw was working as a volunteer in Chelsea's famous Physic Garden when she earned a placement to work for a year on a very special organic garden in Greece. But this was to be no easy-going break in the Mediterranean. Nicknamed 'Alcatraz' by the outgoing assistant, the five-acre plot was devoid of creature comforts, perched on a steep, remote hillside that was blindingly hot in summer and freezing in winter, and overseen by a 74-year-old, passionate, mercurial eccentric English lady called Joy. On arrival, Jane is immediately drawn into the intrigue of village life, such as the ongoing feud with the nouveau richeex-pat neighbour with a sports car, whom Joy suspects has dug an illegal bore hole to water his terraced lawns. But most of all she is beguiled by the vibrant energy of the landscape, the folklore, the food and the numerous engaging characters who flock to Joy as the wise matriarch of the locale and pay a visit to her remarkable creation. The story arcs through a year of seasons in the garden as Jane learns to love its wild beauty and to relish the hard work and care it needs. This is a charming, wildly entertaining and joyful portrait of a very special place, and will appeal to anyone who loves gardening, or who has enjoyed books such as Driving Over Lemons.

In the spring, the ground of the Agora archaeological park is covered in poppies and daisies while poplars and oaks shade many of the pathways. Some of these plants are wild and some were deliberately introduced to Athens in classical times. This booklet presents evidence for ancient horticulture in the Agora (for example, structured antique gardens were uncovered around the Temple of Hephaistos). Its color plates also provide a useful guide to identifying modern Greek vegetation.

"The Garden of the Gods" examines the intimate relationship between the ancient Greek gods and the plant world. The Greek myths envisaged the beginning as Chaos. As it divided into the sky, the sea, the underworld and the earth from the struggle over their dominance emerged a victor. He kept the sky for himself, gave the patronage over the sea and the underworld to his two brothers leaving the earth to all. It became their garden. While they oversaw it from above, the mortals set about using the plant life for their own purposes - for food, medicine, pleasure, worship, and, indeed, for making sense of the verdant world surrounding them. Among them emerged historical men who provided us with the basis of scientific and medical knowledge. The patronage of the gods and their active involvement in the vegetable kingdom, guarding, selecting and creating a new species, adds a new perspective explored in this book, contributing to the wonder of the Greek myths, the greatest ever told.

Zeus, Medusa, Hercules, Aphrodite. Did you know that these and other dynamic deities, heroes, and monsters of Greek and Roman mythology live on in the names of trees and flowers? Some grow in your local woodlands or right in your own backyard garden. In this delightful book, botanist Peter Bernhardt reveals the rich history and mythology that underlie the origins of many scientific plant names. Unlike other books about botanical taxonomy that take the form of heavy and intimidating lexicons, Bernhardt's account comes together in a series of interlocking stories. Each chapter opens with a short version of a classical myth, then links the tale to plant names, showing how each plant "resembles" its mythological counterpart with regard to its history, anatomy, life cycle, and conservation. You will learn, for example, that as our garden acanthus wears nasty spines along its leaf margins, it is named for the nymph who scratched the face of Apollo. The shape-shifting god, Proteus, gives his name to a whole family of shrubs and trees that produce colorful flowering branches in an astonishing number of sizes and shapes. Amateur and professional gardeners, high school teachers and professors of biology, botanists and conservationists alike will appreciate this book's entertaining and informative entry to the otherwise daunting field of botanical names. Engaging, witty, and memorable, Gods and Goddesses in the Garden transcends the genre of natural history and makes taxonomy a topic equally at home in the classroom and at cocktail parties.
