In Jamaica Kincaid's garden, surprises are common. This summer, a Canada lily bloomed by her front door, while dill, tomatillo, and parsnip cropped up in the vegetable garden - all unprompted gifts from past seasons.
Kincaid shares her love of plants and their history in a new book published this spring. 'An Encyclopedia of Gardening for Colored Children,' illustrated by Kara Walker, is an ABC of plants that shaped the world, and their often-brutal colonial history.
