The Book of Old-Fashioned Flowers And Other Plants Which Thrive in the Open-Air of England

"The Book of Old-Fashioned Flowers" by Harry Roberts is an instructional manual for growing diverse, durable flowers in England's open air. The book's purpose is to teach both beginners and experienced gardeners successful methods for nurturing classic flowering plants. Reminiscent of quaint cottage and tranquil vicarage gardens, the handbook highlights the allure of informal gardens teeming with an array of abundant old-fashioned flowers, contrasting with the rigidity of formal gardens. The book establishes from inception that while hands-on experience is irreplaceable, a thoughtful gardening guide is an invaluable resource for cultivating a peaceful, harmonious garden where flowers thrive naturally.
