"A Garden Diary, September 1899—September 1900" by Emily Lawless is a diary from the end of the 1800s, sharing the author's year of gardening and nature observations, weaving together personal thoughts with the wonders of horticulture and the beauty of the natural world. The beginning gets the reader to understand the author’s ideas about discovering new things, and the comforts of home, looking at human desires to travel and the attractiveness of a calm garden. Lawless considers the search for adventure, in far-off places and right in her own backyard. Her detailed descriptions show the changing landscape, highlighting her love for nature and how caring for a garden can help a person grow. Through up-close looks at plants, deep thoughts about life, and funny stories about the garden's helper, Cuttle, the first parts of the diary build a meaningful and interesting atmosphere, encouraging readers to think and feel along with her.
