This article focuses on the book "The Shakespeare Garden," by Esther Singleton. It is not a mere professional or categorical study, but an aesthetic appreciation of the sensibilities of the Elizabethan horticulturist William Shakespeare. He was an artist, intermingling and blending the colors of his flowers to produce a mosaic of rich, indeterminate color, ever new and ever varying as the flowers of the different seasons succeeded each other. He was physician to the soul, seeking in every season, including winter, to have flowers and shrubs in the garden that would tempt the owner to seek pleasure and exercise there.
