Her house and gardens are still open tothe public to enjoy. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ On the scent of a good story... *by A***Y on Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2012* REVIEW OF JANE KIRKPATRICK'S WHERE LILACS STILL BLOOMThe story of how Jane Kirkpatrick came to write of where lilacs bloom is as delightful as her depiction of a life well and beautifully lived. The writer knew of Hulda Klager but a passionate devotee gradually tweaked Kirkpatrick's interest until her great research skills and imagination were fully engaged. The result is a charming and insightful characterization of a woman obsessed with ideas of hybridization.The story develops from Hulda's success in producing a tastier, easier-to-peel pie-apple to her world renown lilacs with tales of her father's undoubting support to her husband's eventual conversion and participation. Others were vocal about her "sin" in altering God's designs; she worried that she wasn't a good enough wife or mother, sacrificing her family to her work. The strain on Hulda brought her to a dark place when doubt and multiple losses threw her into a year-long battle with depression. Kirkpatrick probes the depth of Hulda's personality with a finely tuned fork, showing the reader her quirks and strengths.Plants were not the only thngs to be nurtured in Hulga's realm. She opened her doors to young girls in need of a home and education, something Hulga felt she lacked with her grammar school training. The girls and the young boys she hired to work in her gardens benefitted from her influence as did many others she met along her path.WHERE LILACS STILL BLOOM falls well within Jane Kirkpatrick's style: based on a real, well researched historical character, interpreted masterfully, with a message to deliver and an educational edge. Altogether, LILACS is a lovely read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The importance of lilacs *by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2017* As a child, I walked to school past towering lilacs, white, lavender, pink. Their scent was enveloping, and heralded the last month of school. When we built our home in Monroe, Georgia, I so yearned for that smell. But Georgia, with its heat is not welcoming to those gentle blossoms. But I had one scraggly lilac whose fragrance was perfect. What a joy it was to relocate to within forty miles of Hulda's incredible garden, and to visit it last spring in Woodland in all its glory. And now I have two Klager lilacs about to bloom.This book tells the amazing history of that woman's persistence and vision, a vision she was able to spread from one end of the country to another, and of the people who, after the devastating flood which utterly destroyed her life's work, and the threat of a neglected garden about to be plowed under for development and lost forever, reclaimed by women in the community. For anyone who's ever hoped and planted, a wonderful story, but do have your hankie close by. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/4781413-where-lilacs-still-bloom-a-novel](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/4781413-where-lilacs-still-bloom-a-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
