Having a home built in 1845, my husband wants the landscaping to be “historically accurate.” (But then he also wants me to dress as if it is 1845 but that is another story. He was born in the wrong century.) The book is filled with historical info (duh) and lots of garden ideas. My husband loves it. A thumbs up on this one!
