Garden-Craft Old And New

By John Dando Sedding, Edward Francis Russell, E F (Edward Francis) Russell

Book Overview

"Garden-Craft Old And New" is an 1890 guide to gardening by John Dando Sedding. It is an exploration of contemporary ideas and theory surrounding the subject, interwoven with handy tips and interesting observations from a lifetime of experience. This timeless guide will appeal to those with a series interest in gardening and its historical development, and it would make for a worthy addition to allied collections. Contents include: "The Theory of a Garden", "Art in a Garden", "Historical and Comparative Sketch", "The Stiff Garden", "The 'Landscape Garden'", "The Technics of Gardening", "The Technics of Gardening (continued)", "On The Other Side", "A Pleas for Savagery", "In Praise of Both", etc. Many vintage books such as this are 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.
