Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Notes and Thoughts on Gardens and Woodlands: Written Chiefly for Amateurs
A garden is a beautiful book, writ by the finger of God. Every ?ower and every leaf is a letter. You have only to learn them - and he is a poor dunce that cannot, if he will, do that - to learn them and join them, and then to go on reading and reading, and you will find yourself carried away from the earth by the beautiful story you are going through. You do not know what beautiful thoughts grow out of the ground and seem to talk to a man. And then there are some ?owers that seem to me like over dutiful children: tend them but ever so little, and they come up and ?ourish, and show, as I may say, their bright and happy faces to you.
