• Sally Ferguson wrote a glowing book review on February 18, 2012. She begins by writing "Thomas B. Clarke grows 'A Garden of Love.' His work at the Gethsemane Prayer Garden at Faith Chapel in Syracuse, NY brings great satisfaction to the heart. Even more than being eye-pleasing, the thoughts Clarke has accumulated into his book nurture the soul. "A Garden of Love" is a devotional that includes gardening know-how. The book is tastefully done with 8½ x 11 photos that capture Clarke's beauties in full bloom. Browsing through the eye candy becomes a soothing walk that transports you to the Gethsemane Prayer Garden." Continued at http://6497855.bravejournal.com/entry/80004.
