"Flowers and Flower-Gardens" by David Lester Richardson is a reflective and somewhat informal exploration of floriculture, likely written in the mid-19th century. The work emphasizes the beauty and emotional significance of flowers and gardens, encouraging both the Anglo-Indian community and the local populace in India to cultivate a love for floriculture as a means of enhancing their surroundings and nurturing their spirits. The author aims to inspire a greater appreciation for flowers not merely as decorative elements but as integral to the human experience, capable of elevating the soul and fostering a sense of community. At the start of the volume, the author shares a preface expressing his purpose behind writing this piece—not as a scientific manual, but as a friendly chat on the joys of flowers and gardening. He notes the growing interest in floral cultivation among the Anglo-Indians while expressing hope that this appreciation will spread to the local natives as well. Richardson highlights the transformative effect that cultivating flowers can have, even on the simplest plots of land, fostering a sense of pride and care in the community. He appeals to readers' emotions, suggesting that an affinity for flowers enriches life by providing beauty, solace, and a connection to nature, while urging both individuals and families to welcome and nurture this bond with flora.
