  • I absolutely love this song. A gift from a flower to a garden is the first album I've heard from Donovan and I love it. The stand-out tracks are as strong as some of the Beatles best material.

    I love the sad melody of "he said I wanna hear all, that's pretty"

  • This song take me back to the summer of 1968, living in a castle on the shore of Lake Windermere in the Lake District, and playing this album and that old jingle jangle Byrds stuff non stop.

  • I got this album shortly after I came home from Vietnam. I still have it. I listened to it over and over again while I was in the Army, but not since. I think this and Peter, Paul, and Mary In Concert kept me from killing myself to join my A Team who all died there. Former Sp5 Fred Miles, 1st Special Forces Group, 1968

  • @ElGoodo  oh i agree...my dad would play this album in my childhood while he painted in his studio at the back of the house, and that sweet, sad melody of that very line makes my heart swell and soar to this day...:)

  • donovan was brilliant in the sixties until he left his partner then everything went wrong. his first couple of albums are amazing and this is probably the best
