Gilles Clément has written a journey through the history of the garden that begins with its deepest and most atavistic meanings; a short and delightful book that connects us with the meanings that, as human beings, we have given to domesticated nature.
“The first garden is an enclosure. The precious good of the garden must be protected: the vegetables, the fruit; then the flowers, the animals, the art of living… everything that, over time, will always be presented as the 'best' […]. The notion of 'best', of precious good, never stops evolving. The scenography intended to value the best adapts to the change of the foundations of the garden, but the principle of the garden remains constant: to get as close to paradise as possible.”
