520    By the time she reached her late twenties, Eudora Welty 
       (1909-2001) was launching a distinguished literary career.
       She was also becoming a capable gardener under the 
       tutelage of her mother, Chestina Welty, who designed their
       modest garden in Jackson, Mississippi. From the beginning,
       Eudora wove images of southern flora and gardens into her 
       writing, yet few outside her personal circle knew that the
       images were drawn directly from her passionate connection 
       to and abiding knowledge of her own garden. 
520 8  Near the end of her life, Welty still resided in her 
       parents' house, but the garden-and the friends who 
       remembered it-had all but vanished. When a local garden 
       designer offered to help bring it back, Welty began 
       remembering the flowers that had grown in what she called 
       "my mother's garden." By the time Eudora died, that 
       gardener, Susan Haltom, was leading a historic 
       restoration. When Welty's private papers were released 
       several years after her death, they confirmed that the 
       writer had sought both inspiration and a creative outlet 
       there. This book contains many previously unpublished 
       writings, including literary passages and excerpts from 
       Welty's private correspondence about the garden. 
520 8  The authors of One Writer's Garden also draw connections 
       between Welty's gardening and her writing. They show how 
       the garden echoed the prevailing style of Welty's mother's
       generation, which in turn mirrored wider trends in 
       American life: Progressive-era optimism, a rising middle 
       class, prosperity, new technology, women's clubs, garden 
       clubs, streetcar suburbs, civic beautification, 
       conservation, plant introductions, and garden writing. The
       authors illustrate this garden's history--and the broader 
       story of how American gardens evolved in the early 
       twentieth century-with images from contemporary garden 
       literature, seed catalogs, and advertisements, as well as 
       unique historic photographs. Noted landscape photographer 
       Langdon Clay captures the restored garden through the 
       seasons.
