  White gives a surprising portrait of the resilience and richness of the natural world in Philadelphia. In prose now as precise as the paths in a parterre, now as flowing and lyrical as an Olmsted vista, she explores the city's gardens as a part of its ecosystem and animates the lives of individual gardeners working there.
