Description
Elizabeth Lawrence (1904-1985) lived a singular, contradictory life as a true Southerner; a successful, independent gardening writer with her own newspaper column; a dutiful daughter; a landscape architect; an accomplished poet; a friend of literary figures like Eudora Welty and Joseph Mitchell; and a very private woman, whose recently discovered letters reveal something of her mystery.
