Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from School Gardening IN the curriculum of the rural, the provincial, or even the urban school, there is no more delightful subject than that which is treated of in the following pages. It is a subject that introduces the scholar to the possibilities of the soil and to those physical forces that in days past have built up our national wealth; it brings him into contact with the agencies of Nature whereby the plant is induced to yield its contribution to the dietary of the human race. There is no more fascinating work for boys who in their small gardens learn by seeing and doing. Of course, as in all things, it is essential that procedure should be carefully directed and both teachers and scholars should derive much useful information and guidance from this small book. School Gardening is gaining in popularity year by year, and county after county is adopting it as a valuable practical asset to the curricula of their schools. In its bearing on the study that is conducted in the class-room it has proved itself of sterling value as a medium for the correlation of the Nature subjects. It is a subject, however, that demands some amount of experience on the part of the instructor, and where this has been limited through uncontrollable circum stances the present work should do much to establish the teaching upon correct lines.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical School Gardening It has been a difficulty experienced by all interested in School Gardening to supply the information to the teachers of the subject who, although often expert practical gardeners, yet require information which is not obtainable in any one book we have been able to discover, except in manuals of large size and whose cost makes it impossible to obtain them. It was in the hope of meeting this difficulty that we undertook the production of this book; and the book, although written primarily for Elementary School Teachers, has been written in such simple language, and every operation has been so explained that it may be placed in the hands of the older boys, and will, it is thought, prove suitable as a book which may be given as a reward to boys leaving school. Professional gardeners will find in it information which is not usually at their disposal and which should prove of value to them. The School Garden Note Book which has recently been published by the Oxford University Press, is intended to be used by every boy receiving instruction in School Gardening under such a scheme as we have indicated in the book. Every effort has been made to ensure the correctness of the information and the advice and assistance of experts in the different branches has been sought.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Agronomy: A Course in Practical Gardening for High Schools Every effort should be made to have the student secure first-hand information. A single visit to an implement store, for instance, will give him more information of real value than hours of recitation about implements which he has never seen or examined. For the same reason frequent field trips to parks, market gardens, nurseries, greenhouses, public gar dens, and the like should be made. These trips should, if possible, be taken in the hours allotted to agronomy in the school day and should be counted as part of the regular work. In many cases the period for this study may come last in the day's program, thus allowing pupils to take as much additional time for the work after school as they desire. There is always a tendency on the part of the teacher to assume more knowledge of familiar things than the student possesses, and for this reason it is well to carry out all the exercises suggested, though at first glance some may appear too simple to be worth while.

A study of the develop ment Of this movement shows that the chief promoters are not among the teachers, but among those interested in agricultural and those interested in social questions. The former are trying to make the school serve more practical ends in rural communities, while the latter wish to reach a class of children in the Cities not interested in the regular school work. Development of the school-garden idea has been effected mainly through efforts in these two directions. Both have made substantial contributions to education, as evinced, on the one hand, by the tendency to make the garden part Of the school equipment, and, on the other, by the results actually Obtained in large cities.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Garden Crops, Production and Preservation Gardening has been taught for years in European schools with great success. The subject is fast finding a place in the course of study of many of the best schools of America. Its introduction is due largely to the following inﬂuences: School officials are tending more and more to include in the courses of study such subjects as will afford children a better opportunity to prepare themselves for a well-rounded life. School patrons are asking that the schools be made more democratic by offering practical work in which the relations of cause and effect are more apparent and results more evident. The children them selves find more enjoyment in studying a subject that requires both indoor and outdoor work, which at the same time enables them to make some contribution to their own support and in directly to the wealth of the nation. Community leaders are beginning to appreciate the great civic, hygienic, economic, and educational values that results from children having gardens and being taught the principles of gardening. These leaders point out that under these conditions part of the products are consumed where they are produced and while they are fresh, avoiding cost of transportation and handling or loss from deterioration in the market, while the part that is not consumed when fresh is saved by canning, preserving, drying, salting, and storing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Beginner's Garden Book: A Textbook for the Upper Grammar Grades One of the most striking educational movements of recent times is toward the interesting of children in gardening. State boards of education, local school boards, and local home gardening associations have all encouraged and superintended the work. The advantages are very plain, and in both town and country two are chief. In the first place, children, whether through an awakened love of ﬂowers or an understanding of the economic value of vegetables, are brought into direct con tact with nature, and must necessarily profit, mentally and physically. In the second place, children are kept busy who otherwise might be idle through the weeks of vacation. They learn to work, they understand the values created by work, and they gain from this both self-respect and respect for property. Gardening thus becomes a lesson in civics. In addition, in country towns intensive agriculture, our depend ence in the future, must be stimulated by gardening. The garden movement is, for all these reasons, of even national importance. This book is offered as a textbook of gardening for the upper grammar grades. It covers not merely the school work indoors and out, but also the work of gardening at home. Thus it has a wide field, and at the same time follows the natural activities of the school year. From his own knowl edge of gardening, as well as from his acquaintance with the school and home gardening work at Concord, Massachusetts, the author is certain that the book is practical.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Russell Page, one of the legendary gardeners and landscapers of the twentieth century, designed gardens great and small for clients throughout the world. His memoirs, born of a lifetime of sketching, designing, and working on site, are a mixture of engaging personal reminiscence, keen critical intelligence, and practical know-how. They are not only essential reading for today’s gardeners, but a master’s compelling reflection on the deep sources and informing principles of his art. The Education of a Gardener offers charming, sometimes pointed anecdotes about patrons, colleagues, and, of course, gardens, together with lucid advice for the gardener. Page discusses how to plan a garden that draws on the energies of the surrounding landscape, determine which plants will do best in which setting, plant for the seasons, handle color, and combine trees, shrubs, and water features to rich and enduring effect. To read The Education of a Gardener is to wander happily through a variety of gardens in the company of a wise, witty, and knowledgeable friend. It will provide pleasure and insight not only to the dedicated gardener, but to anyone with an interest in abiding questions of design and aesthetics, or who simply enjoys an unusually well-written and thoughtful book.
