Leslie Buck followed a dream, leaving a local landscaping business to travel to Japan and learn from master gardeners, later writing a memoir about the adventure - "Cutting Back: My apprenticeship in the Gardens of Kyoto" (Timber Press, 2017).
Buck will speak about her experiences and her New York Times reviewed book, which recounts her challenging but ultimately rewarding pruning apprenticeship in the best gardens of Kyoto, at 9 a.m. Friday, Feb. 16 at the Montelindo Garden Club meeting at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, 66 St. Stephens Drive in Orinda.
