The Cottage Garden (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781528711210)

"The Cottage Garden" is a fantastic vintage guide to gardening that focuses on smaller gardens and plots of land, especially in England. It contains a wealth of valuable information on the subject ranging from how to plan a garden and what to plant, to garden pests, seasonal considerations, pruning, propagating, and much more besides. This charming little book will appeal to gardeners new and old, and it would make for a worthy addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: "Garden Planning", "The Greenhouse and Garden Frame", "Bulbs", "Annuals", "The Herbaceous Border", "The Rose Garden", "The Rock Garden and Water Garden", "Lawns and Paths", "Trees and Shrubs", "The Fruit Garden", "The Vegetable Garden", "Insect Pests and Fungoid Diseases", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the history of gardening.
