Historical living takes the reader on a journey of imagination while leaving them with interesting facts. This wonderful garden article for a new magazine in Florida is a prime example of this type of writing, which highlighted a historical garden at the Victorian home restored by the Maitland Historical Society. Research entailed going through old records of the family that used to own the home as well as studying documents on the historical use of herbs and plant life. Interviewing the curator at the museum was also essential to add to the living history.
