The earliest record of an enclosed space around a homestead come
from 10,000 BC and since then gardens of varying types and ambition
have been popular throughout the ages. Whether ornamental patches
surrounding wild cottages, container gardens blooming over
unforgiving concrete or those turned over for growing produce,
gardens exist in all shapes and sizes, in all manner of styles.
Today we benefit from centuries of development, be it in the
cultivation of desirable blossom or larger fruits, in the
technology to keep weeds and lawn at bay or even in the visionaries
who tore up rulebooks and cultivated pure creativity in their green
spaces. George Drower takes fifty objects that have helped create
the gardening scene we know today and explores the history outside
spaces in a truly unique fashion. With stunning botanical and
archive images, this lavish volume is essential for garden lovers.
