For the first time, a concerted effort was made throughout Britain to provide extensive gardens for the public to enjoy. More than merely an aesthetic enterprise, the development of public gardens attempted to promote benevolent behavior and decrease social unrest.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eDuring this period, we saw the creation of infamous and elaborate gardens, such as the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew. Plants were brought from all over the world and housed in gardens such as James Bateman’s at Biddulph Grange, Staffordshire.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe craze for plant collecting that developed in the nineteenth century catalyzed the return to a more formal style of garden to display the variety of plant species from across the Empire. In this illustrative, comprehensive tome, Frank J. Scott brought the art of beautifying home gardens to suburban homes. He demonstrates the simple means with which beautiful gardens may be achieved on small grounds and with little cost.\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e256 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Independent Publishe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49020391260278,"sku":"fip1792015087475","price":11.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/7438\/1942\/files\/the-classic-guide-to-gardening_1.jpg?v=1792015093","url":"https:\/\/consciouscladfit.shop\/products\/the-classic-guide-to-gardening","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
