What are sage mice and how do they taste? How did the Emperor of China enjoy the magnolia blossom? How do you bake Alsatian rhubarb cake? Or the wonderful rosemary cookies? Garden pleasure is also a delight for the palate! And a riddle game. What did Goethe have in mind with the columbine? How did Monet lose himself in the water lilies? Why is lavender a cavalier of roses and not every garden gnome scornful? These are questions that find their answers in the New Garden Pleasure. Additionally, the plant miniatures by Johannes Roth from the Frankfurter Allgemeine Magazine provide the necessary botanical science and, of course, hints for gardening practice.
