The Pleasures of the Garden begins in ancient China and ends on the Isle of Man, admiring both stately landscaped parks and a soap box full of red geraniums on a fire-escape. It shows that gardening is for everybody, whatever their resources. It features classic writers on gardens such as John Evelyn and Gertrude Jekyll; famous historical figures like Pliny, Francis Bacon, and Thomas Jefferson; the novelists Jane Austen, Charlotte Brontë, and Robert Louis Stevenson; and the poets John Donne, John Clare, W. B. Yeats, and Rudyard Kipling.
