An Eden of Sorts is a history of the plants and animals that lived on the tract over the next decades.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn a survey he made before taking down the pines, Mitchell counted no more than five or six flowering plants and shrubs. Over the years he created a series of fanciful garden “rooms” in the Italian style. Now, in addition to an intriguing garden of earthly delights, he has recorded more than one thousand species of plants and animals on the property. This is a paradoxical yet hopeful narrative of what can happen to a plot of land when it is properly managed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn Hanson Mitchell\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of several books, including \u003ci\u003eA Field Guide to Your Own Backyard\u003c\/i\u003e (Countryman) and \u003ci\u003eCeremonial Time\u003c\/i\u003e, and the editor of the award-winning natural history\/environmental journal \u003ci\u003eSanctuary\u003c\/i\u003e, published by the Massachusetts Audubon Society.
