| Résumé: | 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 Expresison, Personal Expression, and Healing. Each muse suggests specific inspirations for garden and landscape design. |
