Landscape architecture and garden-making have witnessed huge
changes during the twentieth-century, and the impact of these will
continue to be discussed and interpreted in the twenty-first. New
materials and responses to different social conditions, along with
new attitudes to how gardens are perceived and interpreted and
above all the relationship of built work to the larger landscape of
territory and society - all have challenged long-held practices of
garden-making, even while those same traditions continue to be at
the center of both designers and users. A Cultural History of
Gardens in the Modern Age presents an overview of the period with
essays on issues of design, types of gardens, planting, use and
reception, issues of meaning, verbal and visual representation of
gardens, and the relationship of gardens to the larger landscape.
