Gardening for women

The text offers practical instruction and advocacy for women entering horticulture, outlining requisite skills, training, and career paths in landscape, market, and jobbing gardening as well as floral decoration and nature-study. It advises on securing and managing posts, dress, cottage cultivation, food production, medical considerations, and adaptations such as Italian pot gardens and prospects overseas. A substantial second part surveys schools and training colleges across Britain, continental Europe, America, Canada, and Australia, profiles model training grounds for market gardening, and concludes with appendices of practical schedules, resources, and administrative advice for women pursuing gardening professionally.
