Botanical gardens brought together the great diversity of the
Earth's flora. They displaced nature from forest and foothill and
re-arranged it to reveal something of the scientific principles
underpinning the apparent chaos of the wild. Through a study of
three botanical gardens, belonging to the University of Cambridge,
the Royal Dublin Society and the Belfast Natural History Society,
this book shows how the design and display of such gardens was not
determined by scientific principles alone. It explores how the
final outcome involved a complex interplay of ideas about place,
identity, empire, botanical science and aesthetics, creating spaces
that would educate the mind as well as please the senses. This
highly engaging book offers a wealth of fresh insights into both
the history and development of botanical gardens as well as
connections between science and aesthetics.
