Book excerpt: In 'Our Sentimental Garden' by Egerton and Agnes Castle, readers are invited into a vibrant anthology that traverses the intimate landscapes of love and nature through an exquisite tapestry of narratives. This collection distinguishes itself by melding the poignant beauty of gardens with a sentimental exploration of human affection, engaging with a unique literary style that combines both prosaic and poetic elements. The anthology stands as a testament to the diversity of experiences and expressions of love, with each piece offering a distinct perspective that enriches the overarching theme of romantic and platonic relationships set against the backdrop of nature's boundless beauty. Egerton and Agnes Castle, as co-authors, bring a rare depth to the anthology, rooted in their individual and shared experiences. Their collaborative works not only present a synchrony of male and female perspectives but also reflect an era where the appreciation of beauty and emotion in literature was paramount. The Castles, both significant figures within the late Victorian and Edwardian literary movements, imbue the collection with a sense of historical and cultural richness, aligning with themes of romanticism and pastoralism that evoke a nostalgic longing for an idyllic past. 'Our Sentimental Garden' appeals to readers who cherish the intricate relationships between humankind and nature, and those who seek to explore the myriad ways in which our inner landscapes reflect the external world. This anthology offers a unique opportunity to explore a confluence of artistic and emotional expressions, providing a multifaceted educational experience. It urges the reader to delve into the depth of its pages, to discover not only the beauty of its language but also the universal truths about love, nature, and the human condition that it seeks to convey.

Download or read book The Untamed Garden written by Sonia Day and published by McClelland & Stewart. This book was released on 2011-11-22 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Which suggestive plant caused a queen to faint when it was presented to her at court? What was the original French name for the Great Maiden's Blush rose that had the Victorians blushing? Why are figs and pomegranates thought to be the real forbidden fruit that led Adam and Eve into temptation? In this delightful gift book, master gardener Sonia Day brings together delicious tidbits from myth, history, botany, and plant lore to reveal how plants have seduced our hearts, minds, and bodies throughout the ages. Organized in thematic chapters that loosely follow the arc of a love affair, the book journeys from "Innocence" (the notion of a virgin being "deflowered" originated with the belief that flowers were pure and sexless), through such stages as "Flirtation," "Seduction," "Lust," "Deception," and "Rapture." Scattered throughout are love potions, examples from the Victorian "language of flowers," and charming anecdotes, all told in Day's delightfully irreverent and conversational voice. Gorgeously designed and featuring full-colour photos and illustrations throughout, this is a sumptuous tribute to our enduring fascination with plants that is sure to seduce readers everywhere.
Download or read book The Gardener of Versailles written by Alain Baraton and published by Rizzoli Publications. This book was released on 2014-02-11 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An “eccentric and charming” love letter to Versailles Palace and its storied grounds, by the man who knows them best—for gardening lovers and Francophiles (New York Times) Tour Versailles’ 2,100 acres as its gardener-in-chief describes its fascinating history and his 40 years of living and working in the gardens. In Alain Baraton’s Versailles, every grove tells a story. As the gardener-in-chief, Baraton lives on its grounds, and since 1982 he has devoted his life to the gardens, orchards, and fields that were loved by France’s kings and queens as much as the palace itself. His memoir captures the essence of the connection between gardeners and the earth they tend, no matter how humble or grand. With the charm of a natural storyteller, Baraton weaves his own path as a gardener with the life of the Versailles grounds, and his role overseeing its team of 80 gardeners tending to 350,000 trees and 30 miles of walkways across 2,100 acres. He richly evokes this legendary place and the history it has witnessed but also its quieter side that he feels privileged to know: The same gardens that hosted the lavish lawn parties of Louis XIV and the momentous meeting between Marie Antoinette and the Cardinal de Rohan remain enchanted—private places where visitors try to get themselves locked in at night, lovers go looking for secluded hideaways, and elegant grandmothers secretly make cuttings to take back to their own gardens. A tremendous bestseller in France, The Gardener of Versailles gives an unprecedentedly intimate view of one of the grandest places on earth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Sentimental Garden Extraordinarily so. It will instantly be perceived what kind of gardeners we are, and what kind of garden we keep. We have scarcely a single plant of individuality. We do not spend ten guineas on a jonquil bulb, nor fifteen on a peony. To our mind no flower can be common: therefore we lavish our resources on quantity. I was going to say: not quality, but that is where, in our opinion, the modern kind of garden maker goes wrong. What is in a name? Where flowers are concerned, nothing! But how much, what treasures of joy and colour, of shade and exquisite texture, of general blessedness in fact, lurk in the beloved crowd of the name. Less things, that come to us designated only thus: Best mixed Darwin Tulips Blue bedding Hyacinths Single Jonquils, best mixed, and so on! We once de scended so far as to order a hundred mixed Delphiniums at and when, last June, we looked down on a certain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Garden That I Love Second Series The Longest day.-some too partial persons have been pleased to say that not only the writing of books concerning gardens, but the growing atfec tion for them, owes something to The Garden that I Love. I am so little of an author, though so much of a gardener in a small way, that I fear the expression of this belief gives one a certain amount of pleasure, since even the most unambitious persons have, in their hearts, the foible of self complacency as much as the most soaring. But this weakness receives its corrective from Lamia's irony and the Poet's chastening sense. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
