"Days and Hours in a Garden" is a late 19th-century nature and gardening diary by Victorian author and illustrator Eleanor Vere Boyle, published under her famous initials E.V.B.. The 1884 book provides a meditative, month-by-month observation of plants, birds, and changing seasons at Huntercombe Manor.
The first book edition was printed in London and Boston (by Roberts Brothers) in 1884. It features her signature delicate headpieces, tailpieces, and reflects the period's romantic fascination with horticulture.
