Gardens and Dwelling: People in Vernacular GardensFootnote^*

* I wish to acknowledge that Martha Works's comments and presentations suggested to me that it might be time to revisit the dooryard garden and that conversations with Michel Conan suggested some fruitful paths of investigation. I am grateful to Maria Elisa Christie for asking me to review the articles in this issue of the Geographical Review and to the other contributors, from whom I have learned much. I thank Martha Works, Daniel W. Gade, Mary Killgore Gade, Carolyn V. Prorok, and two unnamed reviewers who looked at earlier versions of this article. I thank Wendy Patzewitch and Nancy Volkman, who helped with technical details in the preparation of the manuscript.
