THOREAU'S GARDEN is an imaginary place where the plants Thoreau
knew in 19th-century New England still thrive and where we can
learn their history, their uses, and their charms. Well-known
garden writer Peter Loewer profiles nearly 50 shrubs, trees,
grasses, flowering plants, fungi, and ferns, using generous
excerpts from Thoreau's journals and his own botanical
illustrations and comments. Each essay mentions the use of the
plant in cultivation, and conveys Thoreau's delight in the natural
world and some interesting and unusual facts about the plants in
his vicinity.
