Description
Gardens reveal the relationship between culture and nature, yet in the vast library of garden literature few books focus on what the garden means - on the ecology of garden as idea, place, and action.
The Meaning of Gardens maps out how the garden is perceived, designed, used, and valued.
Essays from a variety of disciplines are organized around six metaphors special to our time - the garden muses of Faith, Power, Ordering, Cultural Expression, Personal Expression, and Healing.
Each muse suggests specific inspirations for garden and landscape design.
