Subject - Garden

Here are a handful of poems about gardens. You may find it interesting to note six poems in the Title Index, entitled "The Garden", none of which are really about a garden, but rather use a garden as a metaphor for something else... thus, they are not listed under this subject.
You may also enjoy the poems about Flowers.

The subject indexes are a wonderful way to browse Poets' Corner, leading you to works you might not find any other way. I hope also that they can help the site to seem less overwhelming than it might at first. If you have suggestions or comments about the Subject Indicies please contact Jon Lachelt.

The quotes from Carl Sandburg on the heading of some of the subject pages are from his book of poems, Good Morning America.
