Continuing from the essay, "How to Make a Garden-The First Lesson," this chapter focuses on the rationale for and techniques of tilling and using the soil as a natural mulch. Bailey notes that if this exercise is done just for necessity, it becomes labor. With a shift of perspective and understanding, however, this activity too is alive with the garden-sentiment. "You will hear the plants laugh. The soil will have a new meaning to you."

The garden sentiment (here named the garden spirit) is brought into the field of action with suggestions for garden preparation, which here involves using a camera to frame the landscape and to compare the general habitat and forms of local plants. Specifics of planting are also given, with a preference for thick border plantings with spare centers. A list of border flowers is provided for the reader.

A quatrain from Ralph Waldo Emerson introduces this chapter and the idea of the "garden sentiment," referred to here as "garden-desire," is further explored. Garden-desire is not based on materialism, since it is cheaper to buy plants than to grow them. Instead, it is based on the simple idea of self-expression through the growing of plants, which breaks us out of "the long estrangement of our artificial lives." Bailey also warmly describes the process of a germinating plant, likening it to the germinating garden sentiment. Lastly, Bailey introduces an elsewhere-repeated trope of describing plants as "old friends," a companionship "of things that are real and clean." The chapter concludes with a reference to Emerson's fellow Transcendentalist, Henry David Thoreau.

Bailey opens this piece reflecting on James Thomson's poem, "The Seasons." As Bailey further explains, the seasons are "stages in a persisting and everlasting process" which present the garden "as one continuous and connected emotion." He also provides a brief reflection on the future of gardening, where one continuing essence is certain: the gardening-sentiment, or the satisfaction of growing plants.

Urban Weeds, Creeping Jenny
Bailey gives his final summation of the much maligned term, "weed," redeeming the plants often dismissed as weeds by gardeners. Again referring to Emerson's definition of a weed as "a plant out of place," Bailey flips the question and asks "whether a plant is ever out of place except when cultivated."
