When a pioneer gardener planted the first window box on the Minnesota prairie in the 1840s, prospects for the state's horticulture appeared grim. "What can be raised away up there in Siberia?" one East Coast writer asked. But in the following century and a half, Minnesota answered such early doomsayers with estate gardens rivaling those of Italy and England, public landscapes among the best in the country, hundreds of new plant varieties, a flourishing seed industry, and gardens of all kinds and sizes that bring life and color to every corner of the state. A gardening odyssey that begins in territorial times, Minnesota Gardens glimpses gardening as practiced by pioneer and Victorian Minnesotans, detals Depression-era and great estate gardens, and celebrates today's gardening renaissance. Delving into original sources, drawing on old newspaper acoounts, diaries, historic photos, and interviews, Susan Price has wsritten an ode to Minnesota gardens and passionate gardeners, past and present. The first comprehensive history of gardening in Minnesota, Minnesota Gardens will be cherished by gardeners and garden lovers alike. - Dust jacekt. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
