Gardens provoke thought and engagement in ways that are often
overlooked. This book shines new light on long-held assumptions
about gardens and proposes novel ways in which we might reconsider
them. The author challenges traditional views of how we experience
gardens, how we might think of gardens as works of art, and how the
everyday materials of gardens - plants, light, water, earth - may
become artful. The author provides a detailed analysis of Tupare, a
garden in New Zealand, and uses it as source material for his
analysis of the philosophical issues art gardens raise. His new
account of gardens highlights the polymodal, multi-sensual, and
improvisatory character of the garden experience, it offers an
ontological comparison between gardens and humans and other
animals, and it explains how identical plants, and arrangements of
plants, may be mundane when encountered beyond the garden but
artful, meaningful, and aesthetically valuable when experienced
within it.
