Summary:
Each chapter of the book is dedicated to one decade, with an essay outlining general developments during those ten years and a discussion of the most distinctive projects; the most important projects are illustrated. The images consist to a large extent of historic and new photographic material, supplemented where necessary with plans and design drawings. Through the decades, the themes discussed include: the transition from 'utilitarian greenery' to 'greenery for consumption', the Zuiderzee Works - the construction of the massive Afsluitdijk (Enclosing Dike) to close off the Zuiderzee from the Waddenzee, the changes in agriculture, the Ecological Master Plan, garden design on country estates, the transformation of managed nature into 'new nature', and the development of public gardens and parks. The design or the designer are the main focus throughout, always considered in the light of broad social developments, such as fashionable trends, the increase of scale and intensification in agriculture, and changing recreational demands. The book contains work of a.o. Zocher, De Bazel, Granpré Molière, Mien Ruys, Van Eesteren, Dudok, Bijhouwer, Le Roy, Fortuyn/O'Brien, Baljon, Van Gessel and West 8.

Summary:
The gardener labours to harmonize nature's most subtle forms with his or her own most elaborate plans. Gardens present a succession of ever-rephrased dialogues between nature and culture, design and delight, work and play. Yet they are also mutable and fragile, vulnerable to the rigors of the changing seasons. The most stimulating thought and research on the history of the garden from the fifteenth century to the present day are organized chronologically here in sections that cover the humanist garden in Renaissance Italy; the Baroque garden and classical park; picturesque, arcadian, and sublime gardens of the Enlightenment; mazes, grottoes, and other curiosities; town and city parks; and even Disneyland. In each section, individual gardens are analyzed as paradigms of their type: the Hortus Palatinus in Heidelberg, the Parc Monceau in Paris, Stowe in England, and many others, including contemporary gardens designed by Roberto Burle Marx, Ian Hamilton Finlay, and Geoffrey Jellicoe. Many hitherto unrecorded examples are detailed, and well-known aspects of the history of the garden are reinterpreted from totally new perspectives. The essays are supported by paintings, reliefs, and drawings as well as figurative illustrations and photographs. A specially commissioned series of fifty-one plans of each epoch's most significant gardens completes this survey of the evolution of the Western garden.
