| Summary |
Every garden is an imagined paradise - a garden paradise that incorporates the personality of the individual who created it, but also the long history of horticulture. The book recounts the history of gardens from their likely origins in Mesopotamia to today; in chronological order and in sections with keywords, it introduces the most important styles as well as the people that have influenced developments in Europe. Although the famous and influential gardens often needed extensive funds for their creation, gardens are not designed for the privileged of this world. Whether it is an allotment, a landscape park, a cemetery, or a city park - small and large gardens interweave with the built landscape and are an inspiration for all of us |
| Notes |
"This book is based in part on the text Sensations of European garden history, a chronological collection of keywords, which was published in issue 758, In the Gardens. Weeding in Paradise, of the cultural journal du in 2005. It is also a completely revised and comprehensively expanded new edition of the book Sensations: a time travel through garden history, which was published by Birkhäuser Verlag in 2006"--Imprint page |
