The Practical Flower Garden

“The Practical Flower Garden” is a classic hardening handbook written by Helena Rutherfurd Ely. It contains a wealth of information and simple instructions on gardening, covering everything from preparatory details and equipment, to planting and propagating a range of common and uncommon garden plants. Helena Rutherfurd Ely was an American author and gardener who co-founded the Garden Club of America, responsible for publishing three very influential books that moving away from Victorian style gardens in favour of more informal gardening. Other notale works by this author include: “A Woman's Hardy Garden” (1903) and “Another Hardy Garden Book” (1905). Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the history of gardening.
