Written in an essay, non-botanical style, it is a year's record of a four-acre garden within a few miles of Liverpool in the 1870s. All parts of the garden are described, from herbaceous bed, to the vineries and log-house, the mixed borders, fruit walls, inner garden, shrubbery, the rock garden and orchard . The comments on plants are sometimes critical, often humorous, with quotations from English, American and classical writers and poets. With the familiar garden plants are descriptions of rarer plants, old rose species and almost forgotten varieties. Many of these now rare varieties have been included in the watercolour illustrations.
