Description
In questa sontuosa indagine, Penelope Hobhouse - eminente, progettista di giardini e storica - presenta una storia dei giardini e del giardinaggio, esplorando l'evoluzione del modello occidentale e i fattori storici che hanno ha creato l'idea moderna del giardinaggio come passatempo popolare e forma d'arte. In questo contesto, l’autrice si concentra sulle piante stesse, le materie prime dell'arte del giardiniere. Riccamente illustrato con 375 dipinti, codici miniati, disegni botanici e affreschi, oltre a fotografie d'epoca e contemporanee, rappresenta un classico della materia.
