Description

Early American Gardens, published in 1970, was the first of three authoritative volumes of garden history by Ann Leighton. The 464-page masterwork of garden history was reissued in this paperback edition by University of Massachusetts Press in 1986. Concentrating on the gardens of the early settlers of New England, this volume deals with gardeners as well as the plants they depended upon for household aids, flavorings, drinks, and medicines. The well-illustrated, thorough, and scholarly volume is a book for history buffs as well as avid and inquisitive gardeners.Companion volumes by Ann LeightonAmerican Gardens in the Eighteenth Century "For Use or for Delight"American Gardens of the Nineteenth Century "For Comfort and Affluence" - from Amzon
