"Old-Time Gardens, Newly Set Forth" by Alice Morse Earle is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work delicately explores the significance and evolution of gardens in colonial America, revealing how early settlers preserved their love for gardening despite the challenges of a new environment. The book outlines various types of gardens that flourished during this period, painting a vivid picture of how they contributed to the sense of home and identity for these settlers. At the start of the book, Earle introduces the topic by reflecting on the experiences of Puritan settlers arriving in New England. She draws on the sensory details of their landing, such as the promising fragrance of gardens wafting to them from the shore. Earle emphasizes the emotional bond that these early colonists had with gardening, recalling their efforts to transport seeds and plants from England to create homely gardens in their new world. The opening also highlights the work of travelers and chroniclers, like John Josselyn, who documented the resilience of these gardens, which not only supported their aesthetic needs but also played vital roles in their sustenance and medicinal practices. Through rich descriptions and historical context, Earle sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of American gardening traditions as they relate to familial and cultural heritage.
