Description
On the Necessity of Gardening: An ABC of Art, Botany and Cultivation
This inventive abecedarium explores the garden as a rich source of inspiration, tracing its evolution from medieval paradise to modern-day reflection of our relationship with the earth. Through essays, illustrations, and an extensive alphabet, the book reflects on the garden as an abiding metaphor for society and culture.
Entries range from the concept of the Anthropocene to the design of Japanese gardens, and from the politics of garden design to the art of composting. By examining the garden's role in history and culture, On the Necessity of Gardening offers a fresh perspective on the importance of this often-overlooked space.
