When we think about Victorian factories, 'Dark Satanic Mills' might
spring to mind - images of blackened buildings and exhausted,
exploited workers struggling in unhealthy and ungodly conditions.
But for some employees this image was far from the truth, and this
is the subject of 'The Factory in a Garden' which traces the
history of a factory gardens movement from its late-eighteenth
century beginnings in Britain to its twenty-first century
equivalent in Google's vegetable gardens at their headquarters in
California. The book is the first study of its kind examining the
development of parks, gardens, and outdoor leisure facilities for
factories in Britain and America as a model for the reshaping of
the corporate environment in the twenty-first century. This is also
the first book to give a comprehensive account of the contribution
of gardens, gardening and recreation to the history of responsible
capitalism and ethical working practices. -- .
