The Ideal Garden

📕 "The Ideal Garden" is a 1910 gardening handbook written by H. H. Thomas. It includes useful information and simple instructions on a range of gardening activities from preparing the soil and planting, to what flowers are best suited, seasonal considerations, and much more. "The Ideal Garden" represents a handy guide for gardeners new and old and would make for a worthy addition to allied collections. Contents include: "The Ogre of Dogmatism", "Garden Planting", "A Chat about Roses", "The Paved Garden", "Fragrant Leaves and Flowers", "A Garden of Heather", "Gardening in Walls", "The Dutch Garden", "For and Against Bedding Out", "October Leaves and Flowers", "Rhododendrons and Azaleas", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the history of gardening.
