Writing about gardens is also an ancient tradition, especially among those who wish to share their ideas about garden design and horticulture. This book is a unique collection of writings by these experts, ranging from a period of over two thousand years and from traditions as varied as Western, Islamic, Japanese, and Chinese. This fascinating volume goes to the source of garden history, with original writings by more than one hundred leading practitioners and thinkers of each period. Many of these writers share common ideas across cultures and times, but there are also distinct differences in approach, such as an adherence to geometric principles rather than an informal, natural style, or the use of exotic plants rather than native species.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"\"Harry N.
