Résumé:

For many Americans the home grounds - the yard space surrounding the single-family home - is a place to garden, a place to plant flowers or grow vegetables. In From Yard to Garden, Christopher Grampp adopts a much wider perspective, showing how the history of the American home garden is intertwined with the nation's evolving culture, economy, and character. Grampp argues that America's home grounds are, first and foremost, about "habitability"--That is, about how people dwell - and he reveals how Americans have constantly transformed their front and back yards into habitable outdoor spaces from the early 1800s to the present time.--inside jacket.
