Summary:
This is a story about the decline and rebirth of a 100 year old garden. Until recently, the Blue Garden, an icon of Gilded Age splendour in Newport, Rhode Island, was known only from hand-tinted slides dating from 1917. Originally designed in collaboration with the garden's original owner by Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr, and the Olmsted firm - founded by his father, the great landscape architect responsible for Central Park, New York City - it has now been brought back to life. Landscape historian Arleyn A. Levee tells a researched narrative about the garden's origins, development, heyday, decay and ultimate renaissance.

Avant d'être une réflexion, le jardin punk est une réaction épidermique, une riposte contre le béton et l'intolérable rectitude des espaces de vie. Il invite à discerner le potentiel de tout lieu pour l'investir, l'améliorer, reconquérir la biodiversité et faire passer la nature d'un statut dérisoire, voire inexistant, à un statut remarquable. S'émancipant des règles du jardinage traditionnel, les espaces créés (publics ou privés) sont décomplexés, plus libres, plus beaux, plus sauvages — et les jardiniers aussi. Le règne végétal peut enfin reprendre ses droits ! Fainéants, rebelles, fauchés, écolos... découvrez, au fil des pages de ce petit livre, les conseils et astuces (à transgresser bien évidemment) qui vous permettront de " punkiser " efficacement votre jardin. De quoi joyeusement lier transgression et transition.

Summary:
According to flower artist Toshiro Kawase, scattered throughout this book are “flowers, beloved in the new and the old Kyoto, that grew in the beautiful soil of Kyoto’s local character, elegant culture, and tea ceremony tradition.” With arrangements dedicated to each month of the year, it is a gorgeous and delicate homage to the quintessentially Japanese practice of ikebana – the art of giving life to flowers. Bringing flowers indoors can sanctify your living space, soothe the heart, and introduce a spiritual presence (kami) to your home. In this way, these purportedly everyday or benign arrangements become sublime beacons of nature, colour, shape, and beauty.
