Published in 1872, this month by month gardening planner is full of very practical gardening ideas by Anna Warner. Anna is now considered a pioneer in home, organic flower gardening, in the style of gardening known as the Cottage Garden - an informal planting of all manner of plants, not formal beds. In addition, it is a pleasure to listen to the voice of long ago and get fresh insights. An excerpt from January “I wish everybody had a garden and would work in it himself. The world would grow sweet-tempered at once.”
