Jonathan Jordan Childs first released Willow Dreams in 2010 a few months after waking from beneath the bows of an ancient willow. Their first album follows the emotional arc of this dream, from city to country, slowly settling into the sorrow of endless flight.

Released twelve years later, Gardening Songs is a short selection of 8 from the 60+ that they have written since releasing Willow Dreams. Recorded in the same style, utilizing their laptop's in-built microphone and garage band with a cacophony of instruments and collected sound, these songs have taken on the texture of yet another year in search of home.

They would especially like to thank their loving partner, Sylvia Bevington Estes, for her support, editing, production assistance, and backing vocals. These recent recordings would not be what they are without her.

Thank you for listening ----
