Hortus Inclusus
John Ruskin
A walled garden can be a whole world of friendship, flowers, and quiet thought. John Ruskin's letters to the ladies of the Thwaite gather his messages from wood to garden, warm and wise by turns. Gentle, personal writing steeped in a love of nature and place. For the reader who savors an old master's affection for gardens and correspondence. Step inside the enclosed garden.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
