A Little History of British Gardening
Author: Jenny UglowPublisher: Random House
ISBN: 1448104963
Category : Gardening
Languages : en
Pages : 378
Book Description
Get out in your garden and discover the history hidden in the hedges. Did the Romans have rakes? Did the monks get muddy? Did potatoes seem really, really weird when they arrived on our shores? Drawn from Jenny Uglow's own love for plants, this lively 'potted' history of gardening in Britain takes us on a garden tour from the thorn hedges around prehistoric settlements to the rage for ornamental grasses and 'outdoor rooms' today. Tracking down the ordinary folk who worked the earth - from weeding women to florists - as well as aristocrats and grand designers and famous plant-hunters, A Little History of British Gardening is brought to life by gorgeously vivid illustrations and Uglow's insightful wisdom. Not only dealing with flowery meads, grottoes and vistas, landscapes and ha-has, parks and allotments, Uglow explains, for example, how the Tudors made their curious knots; how housewives used herbs to stop freckles; how the suburbs dug for victory in World War II. With a brief guide to particular historic or evocative gardens open to the public, this is a book to put in your pocket when planning a crisp, winter's day out - but also to read in your armchair with a well-earned glass of red, after a hard day's graft in your own garden. 'Enchanting, stirringly evocative and fascinating' Daily Mail 'This book will be a joy for any gardener' Independent

Book Description
Starting a garden and caring for it is a wonderful way for kids to learn about the natural world around them. It provides numerous benefits and educational opportunities. The garden is a place of applied science. It's a place where children can observe first-hand many natural science concepts, and it gives them practical experience of ideas that sometimes may seem abstract. And gardening is a great activity to keep children occupied during the no school summer months. My Garden Planning and Log Book, is a great companion tool for children starting a family garden. The book is formatted as a prompt journal and guides children through the various stages of gardening - from planning to harvesting. It offers ample space for kids to record their observations about the plants, the insects and animals that visit them, and the whole garden ecosystem. The journal encourages kids to observe, record (through writing and drawing) and analyse the natural world around them. The book is divided into the following sections and activities: Setting up and planning your garden: Includes activities to map out the garden, planting planning, and a glossary The plants: Individual pages with prompts to record information about each type of plant and to draw the plant and its flowers and fruits The insects and animals that visit the plants: Prompt pages where kids can record their observations about organisms in the garden, with questions about the role of these organisms and space to draw them Weekly chores: Space to list the garden chores for each week The seasons: Prompts to help the children observe seasonal changes in the garden and seasonal harvest yield activities Life cycles in the garden: Pages to allow kids to record the life stages of the types of organisms found in the garden - plants, insects, birds and mammals The garden ecosystem: Activities to get children to look at the garden as a whole web of life and the relationships among all the organisms in the garden Review your year in the garden: Questions and answers allow kids to reflect on what they have learned from their garden Future seasons in the garden: It takes several years for a garden to become well established. This section of the journal gives room for notes about the garden in the following years.
