Alice Morse Earle wandered the old gardens of colonial America, reading their box borders, sundials and sweet-scented herbs like pages of history. This affectionate classic recovers the flowers our great-grandmothers grew and the meanings they carried. Garden history at its most charming. Stroll the fragrant plots of an earlier America.

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.
