About This Book

A practical, anecdotal guide for cultivating a domestic garden adjoining a house, combining landscape description, plant selection, and hands-on culture. It addresses site planning and borders, the care and arrangement of houseplants and conservatory species, and detailed treatments of perennials, hollyhocks, violets, roses, bulbs, annuals, and climbers. Seasonal tasks, propagation methods, soil and winter protection, and aesthetic combinations are illustrated through personal recollections and accessible instructions, with a reflective chapter on plant physiology that ties gardening practice to botanical observation.
