  The Philadelphia region is home to an almost mystifying number of excellent gardens, both public and private. With a history of ornamental gardening going back more than 300 years, Philadelphians take pride in the tradition of horticulture readily visible today in the sizable number of public gardens, esteemed horticulture schools, and the largest flower show in the country. In Philadelphia and its surrounding counties, the reader will visit 21 private gardens behind tall hedges, down quiet lanes, or tucked into bustling neighborhoods. Here, gardening knowledge and plants themselves have been passed down through generations, culminating in a wonderful depth of expression from the artists, designers, writers, conservators, and other experts whose gardens are included. This book will inspire anyone who loves beauty to create more of it in their lives.

  # A Yankee in Canada 
   
  What happens when one of America’s most independent thinkers crosses the border and looks back at his own country from the outside? 
   
  In *A Yankee in Canada*, Henry David Thoreau recounts his journey from New England into French Canada, traveling through Montreal, Quebec City, the countryside surrounding the St. Lawrence River, and the dramatic landscapes beyond. 
   
  With his characteristic wit and sharp eye for contradiction, Thoreau observes French-Canadian customs, Catholic religious life, British military influence, architecture, agriculture, and the rhythms of everyday life. Yet this is far more than a conventional travelogue. 
   
  Encountering a society shaped by colonial rule and traditions very different from those of New England, Thoreau reflects on nationality, democracy, freedom, religion, and what it means to be American. His observations move effortlessly between landscape and philosophy, finding larger questions of culture and government in everything from churches and fortifications to farms and village streets. 
   
  Based on Thoreau’s 1850 journey and later published in complete form after his death, *A Yankee in Canada* offers a fascinating combination of travel writing, social criticism, humor, and transcendentalist reflection. 
   
  Narrated by Ross Billie.

  Mother Creature Kin - What We...

  What does it mean to be a mother in an era of climate catastrophe? And what can we learn from the plants and creatures who mother at the edges of their world's unraveling? Becoming a mother in this time means bringing life into a world that appears to be coming undone. Drawing upon ecology, mythology, and her own experiences as a mother, Chelsea Steinauer-Scudder confronts what it means to "mother": to do the good work of being in service to the living world. What if we could all mother the places we live and the beings with whom we share those places? And what if they also mother us? 
   
   
   
  Steinauer-Scudder writes of the flight and aural maps of barn owls, of nursing whales, of forests, of tidal marshes, of ancient single-celled organisms, and of newly planted gardens. The creatures inhabiting these stories teach us about centering, belonging, entanglement, edgework, homemaking, and how to imagine the future. Rooted in wonder while never shying away from loss, Mother, Creature, Kin reaches toward a language of inclusive care learned from creatures living at the brink. Despair and fear will not save the world any more than they will raise our children, and while we don't know what the future holds, we know it will need mothers. As the ground shifts beneath our feet, what if we apprenticed ourselves to the creaturely mothers with whom we share this beloved home?
