Cet ouvrage est consacré au « Jardin aux habitant·es », œuvre de l'artiste Robert Milin réalisée en collaboration avec des volontaires lors de l'ouverture du Palais de Tokyo; un jardin partagé qui fédère, depuis 2002, des jardinier·es amateur·rices autour d'une association. La célébration des vingt ans de cette œuvre permet, notamment avec une exposition, des rencontres et ce livre, coédité par le Centre national des arts plastiques et le Palais de Tokyo, de revenir sur ce processus au long cours de transformations mutuelles entre un environnement et ses habitant·es. Ce livre comprend des textes d'Adélaïde Blanc, Éric Chauvier, Gilles Clément, Ophélie Naessens, un entretien avec Robert Milin par Guy Tortosa, ainsi qu'un grand ensemble documentaire revenant en images sur le Jardin aux habitant·es, depuis sa conception à nos jours.
