Reviews
"I loved this meticulously researched guide through the history of American gardening. It's fascinating to discover how much has changed in our gardens over the last 200 years, and how much has not." - Susan Harris. author of the award-winning blog Garden Rant, "Mickey has thoughtfully woven together an American landscape design history with a critical examination of how commercial interests and mass media shape our preferences, even in our humble backyards."-- Publishers Weekly, "In his wonderfully enlightening book, Thomas J. Mickey describes how the garden of this early period in this country became a cultural symbol for the American middle class. Also this period of our history was when our fascination with expanses of green lawn originated.If you read America's Romance with the English Garden , you will be glad that you did. Better still, you could share it with a fellow gardening Anglophile."-- Focus on Flowers , Indiana Public Media, "Mickey convincingly demonstrates how catalog companies used advances in color printing, rural postal service, and railroad networks to reach a mass audience, uniformly promote the English ideal, and create demand for their own products. Thoroughly researched and footnoted, the book includes examples from powerful and enduring catalogs such as Burpee's but also from lesser-known and regional seed companies, including some from the burgeoning West."-- Library Journal, "Mickey has thoughtfully woven together an American landscape design history with a critical examination of how commercial interests and mass media shape our preferences, even in our humble backyards." -- Publishers Weekly, "A penetrating look at the standardized English garden's grip on the American imagination."-Ted Steinberg, author of American Green: The Obsessive Quest for the Perfect Lawn, " America's Romance with the English Garden is a must for gardening history collections, highly recommended."-- The Midwest Book Review, "A penetrating look at the standardized English garden's grip on the American imagination."--Ted Steinberg, author of American Green: The Obsessive Quest for the Perfect Lawn, "This is an illuminating book packed with very readable results of dedicated and thoughtful research. It helps give a greater understanding of how and why English garden style has been admired in North America for such a long time."-- Gardens Illustrated, "Mickey convincingly demonstrates how catalog companies used advances in color printing, rural postal service, and railroad networks to reach a mass audience, uniformly promote the English ideal, and create demand for their own products.

It helps give a greater understanding of how and why English garden style has been admired in North America for such a long time." -- Gardens Illustrated, "Thomas Mickey is both a historian of public relations and a passionate Master Gardener, and his engaging book is full of colorful personalities-both plants and humans." Ariel Swartley - Master Gardener, photographer, and author of In Xanadu: A Little Book of Poppies, "Mickey convincingly demonstrates how catalog companies used advances in color printing, rural postal service, and railroad networks to reach a mass audience, uniformly promote the English ideal, and create demand for their own products.

There may be other books explaining America's enchantment with the English garden style, but none, I'm sure, match the scope or contents of this one." - Betty Earl. author of Fairy Gardens and In Search of Great Plants, "Mickey convincingly demonstrates how catalog companies used advances in color printing, rural postal service, and railroad networks to reach a mass audience, uniformly promote the English ideal, and create demand for their own products.

Synopsis
Named one of "the year's best gardening books" by The Spectator (UK, Nov. 2014) The 1890s saw a revolution in advertising. Cheap paper, faster printing, rural mail delivery, railroad shipping, and chromolithography combined to pave the way for the first modern, mass-produced catalogs. The most prominent of these, reaching American households by the thousands, were seed and nursery catalogs with beautiful pictures of middle-class homes surrounded by sprawling lawns, exotic plants, and the latest garden accessories--in other words, the quintessential English-style garden.America's Romance with the English Garden is the story of tastemakers and homemakers, of savvy businessmen and a growing American middle class eager to buy their products. It's also the story of the beginnings of the modern garden industry, which seduced the masses with its images and fixed the English garden in the mind of the American consumer. Seed and nursery catalogs delivered aspirational images to front doorsteps from California to Maine, and the English garden became the look of America., America's Romance with the English Garden is the story of the beginnings of the modern garden industry, which seduced the masses with its images and fixed the English garden in the mind of the American consumer; the story of tastemakers and homemakers, of savvy businessmen and a growing American middle class eager to buy their products., Named one of "the year's best gardening books" by The Spectator (UK, Nov. 2014) The 1890s saw a revolution in advertising.
