Sabine Platz travels across Germany for the ZDF morning show and meets people with extraordinary garden stories. She plucks out and plants, helps with the apple harvest, reports on the grape harvest, visits perennial producers and drinks tea in English cottage gardens. Along the way, she learns all kinds of amazing and moving things - from a young orchid grower, from a collector of old apple varieties, from a centuries-old tool smithy, and she remembers her grandmother's well-kept tomato treasure from Romania. The reporter's travels resonate within her, changing her view of the world. A literary, deeply philanthropic gardening book about life and the special species of gardener.
