It is man's love of loveliness carried to excess man's craving for the ideal grown to a fine lunacy. It is piquant won derment; culminated beauty that, for all its combination of telling and select items, can still contrive to look natural, debonair, native to its place.

Download or read book The American Flower Garden Companion written by Edward Sayers and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Flower Garden Companion: Adapted to the Northern States The first and second editions of the Flow Garden Compa nion having received a liberal patronage, will be a sufficient apology for the appearance of the present edition, in an enlarged form, although not materially different in its arrangement. The present Object, as heretofore, of the Flower Garden Companion, is to aid those persons who are desirous of becoming acquainted with the culture of flowers. In its compilation, the aim has been to give, within the compass of a convenient manual for reference, as much useful matter as possible relative to the subject. To this end, each topic has been separately treated, and in as concise a manner as could be done with propriety; and, indeed, in some cases, with a degree of brevity that on the first reading, to the young practitioner may produce a feeling of disappointment, at the apparent deficiency of information; but on a careful reading Of the different articles, it will be found that everything useful (in so small a treatise) has been Spoken of, and that, in many instances, one article acts as a key to another. In the outset, directions are given for laying out flower gardens. In treating on this subject, I have confined myself to the general outline, without entering into minute details, which depend very much upon location and circumstances, as well as upon the taste and means of the proprietor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a time of climate change and mass extinction, how we garden matters more than ever: “An outstanding and deeply passionate book.” —Marc Bekoff, author of The Emotional Lives of Animals Plenty of books tell home gardeners and professional landscape designers how to garden sustainably, what plants to use, and what resources to explore. Yet few examine why our urban wildlife gardens matter so much—not just for ourselves, but for the larger human and animal communities. Our landscapes push aside wildlife and in turn diminish our genetically programmed love for wildness. How can we get ourselves back into balance through gardens, to speak life's language and learn from other species? Benjamin Vogt addresses why we need a new garden ethic, and why we urgently need wildness in our daily lives—lives sequestered in buildings surrounded by monocultures of lawn and concrete that significantly harm our physical and mental health. He examines the psychological issues around climate change and mass extinction as a way to understand how we are short-circuiting our response to global crises, especially by not growing native plants in our gardens. Simply put, environmentalism is not political; it's social justice for all species marginalized today and for those facing extinction tomorrow. By thinking deeply and honestly about our built landscapes, we can create a compassionate activism that connects us more profoundly to nature and to one another.

Download or read book American Gardens Classic Reprint written by Guy Lowell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Gardens It must, however, be remembered that almost no trace is left of the famous gardens of antiquity. We know where many of them were situated, we know the dimensions and some of the details of others, but to gain an idea of their effect we must always draw largely on our imaginations. Contemporaneous litera ture aids us a little; 3 knowledge of the flora of the country helps us to finish off the picture; but the whole must in the end be, necessarily, a fabric of the imagination. The formal garden had its beginning many centuries ago. Owing to the admirable pictorial descriptions of the ancient Egyptians, we have a fairly accu rate idea of their gardens six thousand years back. Maspero, in his Dawn of Civilization, tells about a garden a description of which is carved on the tomb of Amten, an important Egyptian nobleman who lived four thousand years before Christ. He built, says Maspero, upon the remainder of the land a magnificent villa, of which he has considerately left us the description. The boundary wall formed a square 350 feet on each face, and consequently con tained a superficial area of square feet. A well-built dwelling-house, furnished with all the necessaries of life, was surrounded by ornamental and fruit bearing trees, - the common palm, the nebek, fig trees, and acacias, - severa1 ponds, neatly bordered with greenery, afforded a habitat for aquatic birds; trellised vines, according to custom, ran in front of the house, and two plots of ground planted with Vines in full bearing supplied the owner with wine every year. An interesting drawing, found in a Theban tomb some forty centuries old, shows, in a curiously combined plan, elevation, and section, a garden almost exactly like that described above. We can see not only all the parts mentioned in the earlier account, but can recognize certain trees and plants, see the birds swim ming on the ponds, and the vines climbing on the trellises. The whole was laid out with paths and terraces, so as to afford shade from the hot sun and shelter from the burning winds; and is an interesting example of the utilitarian and the decorative garden combined.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bulletin of the Garden Club of America, 1917 Mrs. Scott's arrangement of potted plants was unusually pretty. The rock gardens were one of the attractive features of the New York Show and there were many exquisitely arranged private exhibits, of which there were few in Philadelphia. At neither show were any startling novelties shown, but both were most interesting. The New York exhibit was the larger and more elaborate. The attendance at both was very large, an evidence of the constantly increasing interest in gardens and gardening.
