Product Description
For half a century, Prince Edward Island’s beloved naturalist Betty Howatt has been observing the rhythms of life on her family farm. While hoeing in her garden, she has watched osprey training their young to fly. Tending a bed of lavender, she has found herself reflecting on the histories of her herbs. Once, weighing produce in her farm market, she rescued a bat caught in a fly sticker and discovered that even these night-loving creatures occasionally need a bath. In Tales from Willowshade Farm, Howatt shares a wealth of gardening lore, vivid memories of long-ago days, and a prodigious knowledge of Island flora and fauna. Told with wisdom, humour, and a refreshing lack of sentimentality, this gentle memoir offers a bird’s-eye view of daily life on a small family farm -- humble routines that are all too quickly disappearing.
