Description

Lilies of the Hearth: The Historical Relationship Between Women and Plants by Jennifer Bennett is a fascinating look at the long and meaningful connection between women, gardens, herbs, flowers, and the natural world. Bennett, known as a Harrowsmith gardening editor, explores the “sweetly scented, dangerous, romantic path” women have shared with plants through history.

Blending gardening, social history, folklore, myth, magic, science, and women’s lives, this book looks at plants not only as decoration or food, but as medicine, business, beauty, household knowledge, and cultural power. From traditional plant lore to women’s curiosity, creativity, and entrepreneurial spirit, Lilies of the Hearth offers a rich and thoughtful reading experience.

A lovely choice for gardeners, herbal enthusiasts, history readers, nature lovers, and anyone interested in women’s history, plant lore, and the everyday magic of the garden.
