Abstract

In the century between the accession of Elizabeth I and the restoration of Charles II, a horticultural revolution took place in England, making it a leading player in the European horticultural game. Ideas were exchanged across networks of gardeners, botanists, scholars, and courtiers, and the burgeoning vernacular book trade spread this new knowledge still further-reaching even the growing number of gardeners furnishing their more modest plots across the verdant nation and its young colonies in the Americas.Margaret Willes introduces a plethora of garden enthusiasts, from the renowned to the legions of anonymous workers who created and tended the great estates. Packed with illustrations from the herbals, design treatises, and practical manuals that inspired these men-and occasionally women-Willes's book enthrallingly charts how England's garden grew.

Abstract

Le premier jardin fut un enclos où l'homme apprivoisait des plantes pour se nourrir. Mais cet enclos était enchanté : des fleurs y apparurent et il se mit à grandir, à embellir et à essaimer. Certains de ces lointains descendants devinrent même des palais de plein air pour le plaisir des princes. Les jardins d'aujourd'hui offrent ce luxe à tous. Ils veillent sur notre patrimoine naturel, ils s'ouvrent sur nos paysages, ils expriment nos idées sur l'avenir. Partis de rien, ils sont devenus un art majeur de notre civilisation. Ce livre raconte leur histoire en rassemblant les textes des trois grandes traditions connues, l'Islam, l'Extrême-Orient et l'Occident. Il fait un voyage autour du monde pour recueillir les voix de ceux qui les ont créés et de ceux qui les ont aimés.
