A Passion for Gardening

"Nosatalgic images of gardening through the ages ... from the people who have tended their own gardens, or the horticultural experts who have influenced our garden designs or plants, to the literature and advertisements that have proliferated through the ages, containing everything from the latest lawn mower to government pamphlets of wartime, urging the country to "Dig for Victory" ... [this] celebrates the fashions and fads that have come and gone through hundreds of years of tending our 'little bits of earth'"--Publisher's description.
