The Wild Garden is a revolutionary book which swept aside Victorian gardening conventions and formality and replaced it with a new style of gardening: naturalistic, cottage gardening. Decades ahead of its time, it remains hugely relevant today.

Qty:

Originally published in 1870, The
Wild Garden was a sensation, up-ending the conventions of Victorian
garden-making, sweeping away formal ideas and artifice, and replacing it with a
naturalistic approach, favouring native plants. William Robinson's book
effectively introduced the idea of the cottage garden and the herbaceous border.

Practical, beautiful and occasionally
argumentative, The Wild Garden includes chapters on wild roses, bog
gardens and 'Wild Gardening on Walls, Rocks, or Ruins.' Truly ahead of its time,
The Wild Garden changed gardening for ever and remains a key work.
