Is the garden a consumption site where identities are constructed?
Do gardeners make aesthetic choices according to how they are
positioned by class and gender? This book presents the first
scholarly analysis of the relationship between media interest in
gardening and cultural identities. With an examination of aesthetic
dispositions as a symbolic mode of communication closely aligned to
peoples' identities and drawing on ethnographic data gathered from
encounters with gardeners, this book maps a typology of gardening
taste, revealing that gardening - how plants are chosen, planted
and cared for - is a classed and gendered practice manifested in
specific types of visual aesthetics. This timely and original book
develops a new area within cultural studies while contributing to
debates about lifestyle and lifestyle media, consumption, class and
methodology. A must read for anybody concerned with or intrigued by
the cultural construction of identification practices.
