I have started to read the new book, ‘Chicago Gardens: The Early History’ by Cathy Jean Maloney and published by The University of Chicago Press.
What a great resource for information on the Chicago area’s first gardeners. It is filled with vintage photographs, line drawings of garden plans and colorful art from seed catalogs and flower shows. This well-organized book is an easy way to absorb our great horticultural heritage.
The author is a senior editor at Chicagoland Gardening magazine. She knows her stuff!
