Amos bought twenty-five acres of land that consisted of land that was clear, as well as wooded areas. He built a house, a place to ply his trade. Violet, on the other hand, was able to plant a garden of her own.

From the text:

That afternoon Amos and Violet rode over to William Turner's and signed the deed that put twenty five acres of land, cleared and forest with a brook running through it, in Amos Fortune's name. And there, by the bank of the brook, Amos built his own house--strong enough to meet the stress of time and the force of storms. He built a barn and a tan yard and excavated basins in the brook for his work. And Violet planted the treasures that she had been tending all the time they lived on Parson Ainsworth's land--her lilac and tea rose, her japonica and the lily-ofthe-valley pips.
