About the Retro Garden

Flowers are the poor man’s luxury; a refinement for the uneducated. It has been prettily said that the melody of birds is the poor man’s music, and that flowers are the poor man’s poetry. ~ David Lester Richardson

This is where I’ve gathered up and archived antique and vintage articles on gardening and floral crafts, found in the pages of the antique books, almanacs, and newspapers that I collect.

I hope you enjoy your visit and welcome your comments.

Cheers,

Miss Mary
