Let us continue with excerpts from Antiquity and Ornaments in the book “Tablets” where Amos Bronson Alcott details the spiritual benefits that the life of a gardener has.

The orchard is an improvement on the garden, and holds a nobler relation to the house and its occupants. Without suitable ornaments and enclosures, these must be set to the side of the farm solely, not to the house, humanity, nor art. Eyes and feet have their claims along with the hands upon the landscape, beauty and convenience having one mind concerning the best ways of dealing with it. […]”
