#OTD The #Nashville Banner revealed,

"The [secret] #Author-ship of 'The Garden of a Commuter's Wife'... [is] Mable Osgood Wright."

Her dad wouldn't let her study #Science at #Cornell.

Mabel married a bookseller, #Wrote about #Gardens, #Nature, & #Birds, & created the first private American #Bird #Sanctuary - #Birdcraft.

She once wrote,

"Let everyone who makes #Garden plans... insert the letters C.P. after them as a reminder... for "#Climate Permitting."
