Taming Fruit

How Orchards Have Transformed the Land, Offered Sanctuary, and Inspired Creativity

Bernd Brunner , Trans. Lori Lantz
Orchards are far more than fruit factories; they are places of rest and worship, a refuge for wildlife, and an inspiration to artists and writers. Beautifully illustrated with historic images, this survey follows their development from the Hanging Gardens of Babylon through medieval monastery gardens to today’s industrialized farming, exploring the ways their arrangement and cultivation reflect the needs and aspirations of the societies that created them.
