The Garden Triumphant. A Victorian Legacy.

David Stuart.

In the Victorian world of Britain, it’s Colonies such as New Zealand, and in America almost everyone gardened, and for the first time, gardened in the same sort of way. Gardening created thousands of new businesses making tools, lawnmowers and garden equipment. It created an infinite number of seedsmen, nurserymen and plant hunters. The influence of Victorian gardens is still with us and this book gives a history of how this happened.
