I have gardened all my life and my Dad and grandparents did too. Mostly to put food on the table in their case. I am the first one in our family to garden just for the fun of it! But I know both my grandmas loved their roses and flower beds too, even though they grew beans and tomatoes so we could eat. This is my Great Grandfather the tall one in the middle, picking cotton. I am sure this wasn't his farm, he was just a hired hand.
