About this title

About the Author:

Thomas Hubbard McHatton (1883–1956) served as head of the Department of Horticulture and director of the Garden School at the University of Georgia for more than forty years. He was elected president of the American Society of Horticultural Science in 1930. McHatton was instrumental in the formation of the Garden Club of Georgia, of which his wife was past president.

Review:

"What a relief it is to fi nd a book written in a philosophical vein and emphasizing the psychology of gardening, with stress laid on how to appreciate a garden through the utilization of all the senses, rather than the more prosaic business of how to grow plants. . . . With amazing clarity and in non-technical terms, he shows what part sight, hearing, smell, touch, and taste each plays in the appreciation of a garden."--"Quarterly Review of Biology"
