(Ernest Thomas) 1867 1915 Cook, Ernest Thomas Trees and Shrubs for English Gardens Produced by Brownfox and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "Trees and Shrubs for English Gardens" by E. T. Cook is a horticultural guidebook written in the early 20th century. This publication provides an extensive exploration of the various trees and shrubs suitable for English gardens, emphasizing the aesthetic and ecological value these plants can bring to such spaces. The intent is to inspire gardeners to diversify their plant choices and enhance the beauty of their gardens. The opening of the book introduces the author's observation regarding the lack of variety among the commonly used trees and shrubs in English gardens. Cook discusses the over-reliance on a limited selection of popular plants, such as Privet and Cherry Laurel, and notes the detrimental effects this has on both the visual appeal and ecology of the garden. He encourages gardeners to consider a wider array of beautiful and lesser-known shrubs that can thrive in England, such as Exochorda grandiflora and Forsythia suspensa, illustrating the importance of diversity in planting for an inviting and harmonious garden. Overall, the opening sets an informative and reflective tone that invites readers into the nuanced world of garden design. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
