NATURE STUDY AND RURAL EDUCATIONBailey first taught landscape gardening at the Michigan College of Agriculture, and then he introduced the subject at Cornell. He saw landscape from the viewpoint of creating a picture, and for him that meant natural form, not heavily pruned, formal shapes. He advocated a return to the land and nature in moments of leisure for everyone. “If it were possible for every person to own a tree and to care for it,” he wrote, “the good results would be beyond estimation.” His efforts along these lines resulted in the award of the Royal Horticultural Society of London’s Veitch Memorial Silver Medal in 1897.
