Abstraction and hedge, interaction and landmark, labyrinth and synthesis, pond and utopia — the reader is confronted with a variety of terms, from the description of the various elements of a garden all the way to theoretical, historical, symbolic, and iconographic aspects of landscape design. Meto J. Vroom, a former professor of landscape architecture at Universität Wageningen, defines and analyzes more than 250 terms, concepts, and objects. While the definitions convey the universally recognized meaning of the headwords, each essay briefly outlines a subject with a critical commentary and numerous commendations for further reading.

Summary:
Bamboo and its many varieties are becoming ever more popular as a design material for landscapes, squares, and gardens. With its widely varying hardiness, height, and leaf structure, the grass can be cultivated under many different conditions, and because of its special physical characteristics it can also be used as a material in related domains such as architecture, furniture design, and flower arrangement. The extensive technical section of the book describes the properties and habitat requirements of the plant, the breeding of varieties, and the methods of propagation. It then goes on to explore its use and significance in urban and natural settings. Authors with technical expertise in the relevant fields, including the director of the Oprins bamboo tree nursery, and striking color illustrations convey exhaustive technical and botanical information and examples of the creative use of bamboo, especially in urban and natural settings.

Summary:
Qui ne connaît le château de Versailles et ses jardins?. Et pourtant, nul n'a abordé les messages cachés que cet ouvrage révèle. À travers le jeune héros et son guide Elouane, le lecteur apprend à décrypter la symbolique de la statuaire des jardins, qui apparaît alors comme une mémoire de pierre, de marbre et de bronze. Parterres, bosquets, statues et fontaines, pièces d'eau et terrasses, font des jardins de Versailles une véritable base de données artistique, historique, politique, mais aussi ésotérique. L'esthétique le dispute à la matière, les mythes et les légendes à l'histoire. Inscrits et donc mémorisés dans les jardins, les allégories et les symboles livrent les intentions du créateur et le sens qu'il veut donner à sa pensée et à son action. Il faut donc savoir discerner le visible et l'invisible. Car c'est bien le mystère des jardins du château de Versailles : s'il y a des messages visibles, il y en a aussi d'invisibles. Mises en place volontairement et consciemment par ses créateurs, ce n'est pas tant les statues en elles-mêmes que leurs interactions qui délivrent ces messages. Dans ces jardins où tout est mythe et symbole, le lecteur découvrira qu'il y a du sens dans l'invisible.

Summary:
Nurturing health, hope, and community, gardeners in cities and suburbs are reclaiming lost commons, transforming vacant lots into vibrant plots, turning waste into compost, and recreating what was once the most productive agriculture in recorded human history. In a history that has been hidden in plain sight, working-class gardeners have consistently played an outsized role. In London, they devised ways to feed themselves when wage labor fell short. In Paris, a superabundance of horse manure in the streets nourished urban gardens that fed two million residents. In Berlin, gardeners built social safety nets for those marginalized by the state. In Washington, DC, African American migrants brought rural traditions of self-provisioning that were later disrupted by “urban renewal.” In rustbelt Mansfield, Ohio, farming ex-cons grow hope for the city’s future. In post-Soviet Estonia, shared gardens became lifelines for survival amid economic upheaval. And in Amsterdam, activists are reclaiming sustainable farming practices in a sinking landscape oversaturated with fertilizers.
