The author details his experiences tending to a garden in Lancashire over the course of a year, sharing observations on various plants, seasonal changes, and gardening challenges. Throughout the narrative, Bright emphasizes the emotional connections and memories associated with gardening rather than focusing on technical horticultural expertise. The opening of the text introduces readers to the author's motivation for writing monthly notes, which were initially published in the "Gardeners' Chronicle." Bright describes the physical layout of his garden and outlines his thoughts on the beauty and challenges it presents, particularly during the late autumn and early winter months. He mentions specific plants, such as Arbutus and Chrysanthemums, while reflecting on their seasonal bloom, as well as his plans for the coming months. Through vivid descriptions and poetic associations, the opening sets a contemplative and enthusiastic tone, inviting readers into the charm and complexity of cultivating a garden.
