Wild Gardens by Diane Jarvi

Describing the themes that appear throughout WildGardens, Diane explains, “When I travel I always head for the gardens, the bird sanctuaries, the nature preserves and refuges of the place. Besides the people, the food, the music, I want to know what else lives there, what grows, what is the landscape.”
