  • Having
  • married
  • a
  • gardening
  • expert,
  • it
  • seemed
  • to
  • Jane
  • C
  • Loudon,
  • that
  • everyone
  • around
  • her
  • knew
  • far
  • more
  • about
  • plants
  • and
  • gardening
  • than
  • she
  • did,
  • but
  • she
  • quickly
  • learned
  • the
  • art
  • of
  • horticulture
  • from
  • her
  • husband
  • and
  • decided
  • to
  • pass
  • his
  • teachings
  • on
  • to
  • other
  • ladies
  • to
  • help
  • them
  • enjoy
  • the
  • delights
  • of
  • the
  • garden.
  • Gardening
  • for
  • Ladies
  • was,
  • and
  • still
  • is,
  • an
  • entirely
  • practical
  • book
  • that
  • describes
  • how
  • a
  • lady
  • can
  • make
  • the
  • most
  • of
  • her
  • garden
  • in
  • a
  • clear
  • and
  • precise
  • way.
  • Digging
  • over
  • a
  • flowerbed
  • might
  • have
  • been
  • work
  • for
  • a
  • rough-handed,
  • rope-muscled
  • garden
  • worker,
  • but
  • Jane
  • explained
  • how
  • a
  • lady
  • could
  • tackle
  • the
  • job
  • without
  • undue
  • strain,
  • and
  • explained
  • why
  • it
  • was
  • necessary.
  • The
  • advice
  • and
  • instruction
  • in
  • this
  • classic
  • gardening
  • book
  • is
  • as
  • relevant
  • today
  • as
  • it
  • was
  • when
  • it
  • was
  • written
  • 180
  • years ago.
