“one by one passed through into the little garden” [STUD]
Whether we think of British gardens as landscaped acres of
greenery or as the source for finer botanical specimens such as
roses, the Sherlock Holmes stories are littered with these examples
of outdoor offerings.
April is National Garden Month, so we survey the Canon. From
the plantings of John Ferrier to untended weeds of Josiah Amberley
and everything in between, we talk about the importance of gardens
in Victorian times. It's just a Trifle.
