Bailey is a practical guide to gardening and landscaping, published in the early 20th century. The book aims to assist home gardeners in creating aesthetically pleasing gardens while cultivating flowers, fruits, and vegetables. It emphasizes the significance of personal connection to gardening, suggesting that every family can have their garden, regardless of the space they possess. The opening of the book establishes a strong philosophy around gardening, defining a garden as a personal and expressive element of one's home. Bailey stresses that the essence of gardening lies not merely in the selection of plants but in the emotional satisfaction they bring. He argues for a mindset that embraces the joy of growing plants, even if they are not the exact choices intended. The author shares insights on the intrinsic beauty of plants that naturally flourish in their environments and encourages a loving acceptance of the flora that thrives, regardless of whether they were deliberately planted. This sets the tone for the book, which blends practical advice on garden design and plant care with a deeper appreciation for the joy and satisfaction that gardening can yield.
