The text reflects the agricultural practices and knowledge of its time, with an emphasis on the regional considerations necessary for successful gardening, particularly in the northern parts of England. At the start of the book, Lawson introduces his treatise by emphasizing the importance of experience in gardening, drawing upon his 48 years of personal practice. He discusses the essential qualities of a good gardener—being religious, honest, and skilled—while outlining the various components necessary for a fruitful orchard. Lawson touches upon soil quality, tree distance, and the significance of diligent care and pruning, establishing the foundation for the various chapters that follow, which will delve into more detailed gardening techniques and best practices.
