- Used Book in Good Condition
From a Victorian Garden is the first gardening book of its kindâ€”a remarkable historical record and the point of departure for modern gardeners replicating the charms of a traditional turn-of-the-century garden for their own delight. Using period photographs and new full color photography together with material from journals and letters, this book remembers the magnificent Victorian garden of the Point Ellice House created more than a century ago by the Oâ€™Reilly family. It is here that Judge Peter Oâ€™Reilly and his wife Caroline and daughter Kathleen established a glorious floral landscape, perfectly maintained throughout the decades.
Horticulturally inspiring, and filled with wonderful photographs and rich, detailed text, this book takes readers step-by-step through the basics of their own heirloom gardens, to the more advanced concepts such as designing a welcoming driveway or laying a shrubbery border for year-round bloom. Bursting with ideas for gaining abundant pleasure from your own garden, From a Victorian Garden reveals one of the truly magnificent gardens of the pastâ€”still very much alive today.
