Summary:

In Victorian Britain almost everyone gardened, and for the first time most of them gardened in the same sort of way, whether great magnates with their vast houses set off by vaster parterres or the humblest artisans growing roses and potatoes in their tiny allotments. This volume gives a unique picture of how all this happened and of how the gardening public lived and thought during the period that truly created "a nation of gardeners."
