Embark on a writer's personal garden journey! Liza Ketchum's story begins and ends in Vermont, with settings as varied as the Adirondacks, a New York suburb, an urban yard, coastal Florida, and Oxfordshire, England.

With detailed, monochrome drawings by botanical illustrator Bobbi Angell, The Last Garden describes the practical aspects of gardening as we face the perils of climate change, food scarcity, and pollinator decline.

This memoir also profiles the gardeners whose techniques and wisdom influenced and helped shape the gardens Ketchum created. She shares the myriad ways that gardens have provided beauty, comfort, healing, and inspiration during periods of change, loss, and renewal. She also offers inspiration for readers to create their own gardens, whether on a city balcony, a suburban yard, or a larger country plot.
