A gardener on English estates from childhood, he knew the earth, from top to bottom, as well as he knew the political natures of his fellow man. Often sued for libel over his anti-Royalist pamphleteering, Cobbett took refuge in America, more than once, I believe. He was astonished to find that the knowledge of the land possessed by the average colonist was so abysmal that they often had no greens from the end of cabbage and spinach plantings in the early winter, until the appearance of wild nettles and dandelion greens in the late spring. With his usual sense of rightness and immaculate organizational and work habits, he set about changing that."The American Gardener" was his contribution to the flourishing of the American colonies and her peoples. Within its pages, is information still invaluable to any one interested in truly organic gardening and living a tasty life off of the grid. In the same vein, "The English Gardener" and "Cottage Economy" will also provide endless insight into the time and effort it took the average man to provide food for his family's table before the advent of the "Super Market".When I was a child in England, our green grocer's name was Reggie. In reading Cobbet, I at last have some insight into where the immensely flavorful vegetables in his big wicker basket originated; modern food production is, afterall, barely older than I myself. In the pages of Cobbett is found the precursor of my grandmother's Victory Garden. And, perhaps, for the fortunate reader, a well drilled pathway back to simpler times and tastier foods. The English Gardener (Bloomsbury Gardening Classics) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must read for natural gardeners *by J***T on Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2015* Great book. Nice reprint of older text. Good for any non-chemical gardeners. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I just received my Great-Great Grandfathers 1856 Version. *by S***L on Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2016* I was just given a copy of the original 1856 edition that was owned by my Great-Great Grandfather, who was a market master in Iowa for several years in the mid 1850's. As a master gardener and square foot gardening instructor, I was fascinated with this book. It was actually written around 1819, (the date of the forward) and references several crops from that time period; not sure if the 1856 publishing was a later edition. This book contains very detailed instructions from the early 1800's on greenhouse construction, hotbeds, garden design and layout, as well as specific plants and flowers.Just as interesting is the social commentary, examples and advice. It's like having a time machine to 200 years ago. Interspersed with gardening knowledge, the author discusses women and their place in society, hiring and working with gardeners and laberors, and many other social topics of the day. What's particularly amazing the sophistication of the knowledge that they had at that time. Things that we think are newer ideas, such as building a greenhouse onto a house, was common advice in 1819.If you are a new gardener, you should probably bypass this one for now. If you are an experienced or master gardener, or teach gardening classes, then this will give you some interesting material that ties what we do into our heritage. It's a super fun read! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/18292993-the-american-gardener-modern-library-gardening](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/18292993-the-american-gardener-modern-library-gardening) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-05-30*
