Product Description
In the eighteenth century as today, Williamsburg was known for its fine gardens. Among the town's most enthusiastic gardeners was Joseph Prentis, an attorney who kept a personal garden book and calendar. This volume includes the full text of Prentis' work, along with an introduction by Colonial Williamsburg landscape supervisor Rollin Woolley.
Prentis' records and instructions are a valuable resource for gardeners, historians, and others interested in the vegetables, flowers, trees, and shrubs of the late eighteenth century and the cultural techniques of the times.
