Women and Gardens celebrates the achievements of women in gardening and horticultural history. Today, women outnumber men in landscape architecture and related fields. But for centuries, male historians overlooked womens important contributions to horticulture. During her long and distinguished career, feminist historian Susan Groag Bell (1926-2015) published several seminal works on womens place in history and how it had been written out. Upon her death, Bell left behind a fascinating, unfinished project, exploring womens roles as gardeners and founders of horticultural schools. Now, horticultural historian Judith M. Taylor has completed Bells work. Women and Gardens expands upon Bells original research and features new material from Taylor-including a full chapter on the accomplishments of women flower breeders and a comprehensive listing of women rose breeders in Australia.In Women and Gardens, Taylor and Bell offer gardening and horticulture enthusiasts an exclusive look into the previously unexplored world of women and gardens.

Now the superb horticultural historian, Judith Taylor, using and expanding Susans material, has created a joint work devoted to the extremely interesting and important world of women and gardens.- Dr. Peter Stansky, Frances and Charles Field Professor of History, Emeritus, Stanford UniversityOne of the most important studies in garden plant history in English for a long time...for anyone interested in the history of garden plants and plantmanship it is essential reading.- Noel Kingsbury on Taylors Visions of
