"The Art and Craft of Garden Making" by Thomas Hayton Mawson, first published in 1900, is a seminal work in the field of landscape architecture and garden design. Within this influential book, Mawson addresses various aspects of garden planning and design, reflecting the Arts and Crafts movement's principles of integrating craftsmanship and natural beauty. Among the many topics covered, Mawson includes a section on practical garden features, such as wasp and fly traps, which were considered essential in the management of a well-maintained garden during the early 20th century.

In his discussion on wasp and fly traps, Mawson would have provided insights into the design and placement of these traps within the garden setting. These devices were not only functional, helping to control pests and maintain the health and aesthetic of the garden, but they were also designed to be in keeping with the overall garden scheme. Mawson's approach to such garden elements would have been informed by his broader philosophy of garden making, which emphasized harmony between the built and natural environments, and the importance of utility being married with beauty.

The inclusion of wasp and fly traps in Mawson's comprehensive guide underscores the attention to detail and the breadth of knowledge required for successful garden design at the turn of the century. It reflects the era's concerns with both the practical and the picturesque, and provides a window into the historical context of garden maintenance practices of the time. Mawson's work remains a valuable resource for historians, garden enthusiasts, and landscape architects, offering a detailed look at the standards and expectations of Edwardian garden craft.
