In trying to answer the question if there is a something called a typical American garden, Monty begins his quest at the Prairie Garden Trust, as the wild prairie landscape used to cover much of the country before it was plowed under, but whose influence in cultivated gardening is still strong. After that visit, he confines his visits to gardens in the northeast quadrant of the country, all cultivated in some respect despite their vast outward differences in some maintaining some aspect of non-cultivation, and others which some may not consider gardening, such as cut plant (as opposed to strictly flower) arranging. The common thread he finds is the connection between gardening and a pioneering spirit, the concept which is challenged in the notion of gardening trying to conquer nature.
