Robinson William - The Wild Garden Expanded Edition - Hardcover

Binding: Hardcover
Description: First published in 1870, The Wild Garden challenged the prevailing garden style of the day and advocated a naturalistic style in which hardy plants both native and exotic are arranged in groupings that mimic wild landscapes. Thanks to Robinson's passionate advocacy the naturalistic style triumphed and Robinson's urgent message continues to resonate today. For this newly designed edition Rick Darke has written an introductory essay that not only underscores Robinson's importance in the evolution of garden design and ecology but also explains his relevance for today's gardeners designers and landscape professionals. The book contains over 100 stunning photographs taken by Darke including images of Gravetye and of modern wild gardens.
