Marta McDowell returns with a beautiful, gift-worthy account of how
plants and gardening deepy inspired Frances Hodgson Burnett, author
of the beloved children's classic The Secret Garden. Marta McDowell
has revealed the many ways gardening has inspired some of our most
cherished authors, including Beatrix Potter, Emily Dickinson, and
Laura Ingalls Wilder. In her latest, she does the same with Frances
Hodgson Burnett, the author of the classic children's book The
Secret Garden. Unearthing The Secret Garden starts by chronicling
Frances Hodgson Burnett's childhood and early life, with a focus on
her growing interest in gardens and her development as a writer.
McDowell also shares details of three gardens Hodgson Burnett
created in Kent, Long Island, and Bermuda. A guide to the plants
featured in The Secret Garden will delight gardeners. And in a
unique addition, McDowell transcribes Hodgson Burnett's delightful
essay, "In the Garden," which was published shortly after her
death. AUTHOR: Marta McDowell lives, gardens, and writes in
Chatham, New Jersey. She consults for public gardens and private
clients, writes and lectures on gardening topics, and teaches
landscape history and horticulture at the New York Botanical
Garden, where she studied landscape design. Her particular interest
is in authors and their gardens, the connection between the pen and
the trowel. 150 photographs and illustrations
