Paseo

In a writer who knows nothing about plants, the care of a garden and a house abandoned in previous years falls unexpectedly. A gardener close to retirement guides him in his first steps. After the retirement of the old mentor, he continues alone with the arrangements and discoveries. The book sets out to recreate the garden in words. In accounts of encounters with animals, plants and countrymen, in observations of the passage of time, he shows how a gardener becomes and how he lives the plot of the world that he maintains and creates. The text, which refines the look at nature, runs like a walk in which a visitor is taught the secrets of the place.
