| From ancient Chinese pleasure gardens and the origins of Western gardening in Mesopotamia, Egypt and Persia, to Martha Schwartz' garden of green gravel and Fernando Caruncho's parterres of wheat in present-day Europe and America, Penelope Hobhouse describes the rich cultural and historical influences that have shaped our modern gardens. Her richly illustrated book covers topics such as medieval gardens, the Islamic concept of the 'fourfold' garden, Japanese symbolism and restraint, and the great gardens and gardeners of the European tradition. | ||||
