Over the course of the nineteenth century, gardening came to be
considered a respectable profession, providing a means to an
education, a good chance of advancement and decent working
conditions. The hierarchy of the garden staff became just as
regimented as that of domestic servants, and progression was
attained by hard work, self-improvement and ambition. Training
courses and apprenticeships prepared young gardeners for their
trade and horticulture became recognised as a skilled profession,
with the head gardener commanding a position of influence and
respect and women overcoming social barriers to join their peers on
equal terms. This book explores the gardening profession within the
complexities of Victorian society and the advances in science and
technology that pushed the gardener further into the limelight.
