Praise for Twigs in My Hair:
"Her best book yet! Cynthia's most recent memoir takes us on a journey through the various gardens of her life... It is a journey full of insights, humour, and struggle, but ultimately, one of growth and the recognition that by nurturing our gardens we nurture ourselves." Jean Gairdner, author and lifelong gardener.
"How obstinate does a wisteria have to be before you resort to verse? How do you get a fox to pee in a bottle? Cynthia's zestful pursuit of beauty in the gardens of her life is told with her characteristic warmth, humour and honesty. Along the way we meet many friends - human and animal - and absorb her shining examples of passion, patience and, finally, grace. This is a story for our times." Dr. Hilary Custance Green, gardener and author of Border Line, a novel.
"Whether you are a seasoned gardener or a complete novice, you'll see yourself somewhere in these pages, and I guarantee you'll garner some inspiration for your own gardening life." Sheryl Normandeau, master gardener and author of Little Leaves: Intensive Gardening Goes Micro.
CYNTHIA REYES, author of A Good Home, An Honest House and the children's books Myrtle the Purple Turtle, Myrtle's Game and Myrtle Makes a New Friend, returns to the gardens she loves with Twigs in My Hair - A Gardening Memoir.
