"The Book of Town & Window Gardening" by Frances A. Bardswell, is an early 20th-century guide showing city residents how to bring nature into their lives through gardening. The book focuses on teaching people how to grow plants in small city places like window boxes and balconies, where space is limited and pollution can be a problem. Starting with a love letter to London’s surprising flower displays, the book reminds readers of the joy that comes from nurturing their own plants and details the English's deep connection with gardening. The book assures new gardeners that many plants can thrive in an urban landscape and introduces flowers like Sweet Peas and Pyrethrums, which are both beautiful and able to withstand city life and establishes a friendly and supportive mood, encouraging readers to discover the happiness of town gardening.
