Island Garden

"The Island Garden" is a classic work of nature literature and the last work published by the "Island Poet" Celia Leighton Thaxter during her lifetime. She patiently told how she planted flowers and took care of the garden from spring to autumn, how she introduced precious flower seeds to the island, how she carefully cultivated flower seedlings in eggshells, how she battled wits and courage with birds that were both annoying and cute, and also recorded what she harvested after hard work. Rich spiritual rewards... She brought together her lifelong deep love for flowers, plants, birds, and islands, her unique philosophy and perceptions of life, and her noble and outstanding aesthetic taste in this work that tells how she took care of, took care of, and protected the island's gardens with the greatest love. The brushwork is full of warmth, calm and simple, which is her "flower in her old age and the swan song of her life". After Celia's death, her small garden was reduced to ashes in a fire, but "The Island Garden" has been handed down and has been published again and again. It and the legendary island garden, as well as the beautiful new world of people, flowers, plants and birds created by the female writer, have become the "spiritual homeland" of her contemporaries of literary and artistic celebrities and generations of subsequent generations. In 1978, scientists at Shoals Marine Laboratory recruited gardeners to partially restore the island garden, planting the same flowers and trees that Celia had planted. Celia's small garden was once the "spiritual garden" of many painters, musicians and poets of the same generation, and was their spiritual comfort and source of inspiration. Today, the legend of Celia and her island garden continues.
