The book is divided into four sections, each named after a different type of garden or field. The first section, The Wheatsheaf, contains poetry and prose about the harvest and the bounty of the earth. The second section, Fruits And Flowers, is a collection of writings about the beauty and symbolism of nature, particularly in relation to religious themes. The Garden section features writings about the garden as a metaphor for the soul and the spiritual life. Finally, the Shrubbery section contains writings about the various plants and trees that can be found in a garden, with a focus on their spiritual significance.
