About this book
Sunlight, shelter, and the shape of the ground guide Mabel Osgood Wright's approach to planting. Writing in a conversational voice, she treats a garden as a place of pleasure that asks for thought and care. The opening explains how winter and spring winds can undo good soil preparation, then considers evergreen groups and hedges as protection. Her advice also connects garden design with the natural character of slopes and level ground.
Practical discussion sits alongside personal observations and descriptions of plants through the seasons. A passage on ferns compares their preferred conditions, autumn colours, and usefulness among cut flowers. Sweet-fern enters the discussion through its fragrance and spreading habit.
