"The Art and Craft of Garden Making" by Thomas Hayton Mawson, first published in 1900, is a seminal work in the field of landscape architecture and garden design. In this comprehensive treatise, Mawson, an influential British garden designer and landscape architect, provides an extensive overview of the principles and practices of garden making at the turn of the 20th century. The book is notable for its detailed illustrations and plans, which serve to complement Mawson's insightful text.

Among the various topics covered in the book, Mawson dedicates a section to the practical tools and implements essential for the creation and maintenance of gardens, including wheelbarrows, trugs, and ladders. These items, while seemingly mundane, are presented as vital components in the gardener's toolkit, each serving a specific purpose in the cultivation and care of a garden.

Wheelbarrows are discussed in terms of their utility for transporting soil, plants, and other materials across the garden landscape, thereby facilitating the efficient movement of heavy or bulky items. Mawson emphasizes the importance of selecting a wheelbarrow that is well-balanced and sturdy, yet easy to maneuver.

Trugs, traditional shallow baskets, are highlighted for their versatility in carrying flowers, fruits, and vegetables, as well as garden waste. Mawson's attention to the trug within his book underscores the tool's role in the day-to-day activities of gardening, and its importance in the orderly management of garden produce and debris.

Ladders, on the other hand, are recognized for their essential function in allowing gardeners to reach higher areas of the garden, such as trees and tall shrubs, for pruning, training, or harvesting purposes. Mawson discusses the various types of ladders and their appropriate uses within the garden setting, advocating for safety and practicality in their use.

In "The Art and Craft of Garden Making," Mawson's treatment of wheelbarrows, trugs, and ladders is emblematic of his broader approach to garden design: a blend of aesthetic considerations with practical, hands-on advice. His work remains influential for contemporary garden designers and historians, reflecting a period when garden making was evolving into a professional discipline.
