A Garden in Venice is a book written by F. Eden and first published in 1903. The book is a memoir of the author's experience of creating a garden in Venice, Italy. The author, an Englishwoman, moved to Venice with her husband and was struck by the lack of greenery in the city. She decided to create a garden on the rooftop of her apartment building, which was no easy feat given the challenges of the climate and the limited space available. The book is a charming account of the author's journey of creating the garden, from the initial planning stages to the final result. Along the way, she shares her insights on the unique challenges of gardening in Venice, such as the need to protect the plants from the salty sea air and the importance of using water wisely. The book is also a love letter to Venice itself, as the author describes the beauty of the city and the joy of living there. She writes about the daily rhythms of Venetian life, the colorful characters she meets, and the sense of community she feels. Overall, A Garden in Venice is a delightful read for anyone interested in gardening, travel, or simply the pleasures of a well-told story. It offers a unique perspective on Venice and the challenges and rewards of creating a garden in an unconventional space.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
