One of the most popular and successful gardening writers of the
Victorian era, Shirley Hibberd (1825-90) was editor of three
bestselling gardening magazines. He was highly influential - one of
the first to highlight issues such as environmental conservation,
water recycling and cruelty to animals - and he helped to establish
what is now the vast consumer industry of amateur gardening. First
published in 1871, this is one of many books he wrote on the
subject, intended as a 'handy guide' for the creation of attractive
flower gardens. In it Hibberd offers advice on such topics as
bedding plants, border flowers, rockeries, and annual and biennial
plants. He also presents methods for managing various types of
garden, such as subtropical, alpine and rose gardens. Highly
detailed and extensively illustrated, this book remains useful and
relevant to both amateur enthusiasts and seasoned horticulturists.
