Résumé:
When we think of the gardens of Southern California, we tend to think of the enormous semiarid landscapes of the Huntington and Rancho Los Alamitos, often built on the sprawling grounds of former ranches. But there is another garden tradition in Southern California: the modest, rectangular suburban plots designed by the most famous architects of mid-century modernism: Richard Neutra, Rudolph Schindler, Gregory Ain, Raphael Soriano, Harwell Hamilton Harris, A. Quincy Jones, and John Lautner. These architects saw the garden as an outdoor extension of the space of the houses they designed, rather than a neo-Spanish fantasy to be added later by a "landscapist." Their modern gardens made use of low-maintenance, drought-resistant plants, and made room for informal outdoor living by children and adults with an emphasis on recreation and exercise. «Private Landscapes» profiles twenty significant gardens-and their accompanying houses-by these celebrated architects. Using contemporary photographs by Julius Shulman and newly commissioned color images, along with plans and plant lists, «Private Landscapes» provides a never-before-seen look at these gardens. As beautiful and practical now as they were 50 years ago, these designs continue to provide inspiration for gardeners and designers everywhere.

Résumé:
Le jardin alpin — auquel la figure d’Henry Correvon est immanquablement associée — est un objet aussi bien scientifique que culturel. Interdisciplinaire, il mobilise des connaissances botaniques, pédologiques, horticoles et paysagères. Commercial, il repose sur l’extraction, la circulation, l’acclimatation et la culture de plantes de toutes origines. Esthétique, il véhicule à travers la miniaturisation du paysage la représentation d’une nature sauvage, encore vierge des dommages de la civilisation, et qu’il faut, dès lors, protéger. Henry Correvon a touché à tous les aspects de ce phénomène culturel particulier : il a systématisé les méthodes de ses prédécesseurs, il a développé un florissant marché international de plantes alpines, il a collaboré à l’établissement d’un très grand nombre de jardins alpins, sans oublier son formidable apport de théoricien et de pédagogue. Retracer son trajet professionnel et intellectuel permet de parcourir les étapes saillantes de l’évolution du jardin alpin et, dans le même temps, de se pencher sur le rapport ambivalent que la modernité occidentale entretient avec la nature.

Many bulbous plants have been dubbed "heralds of spring", but none is more recognisable than those carrying actual megaphones to spread the word: daffodils. Throughout history, painters, poets, and writers all over the world have been inspired by the flower’s various symbolisms. An introduction to the genus ‘Narcissus’ by Lou-Lou van Staaveren, with photographs by Elspeth Diederix, sets the tone for this issue. Other contributors include philosopher Christopher F. Julien, who reflects on how scent mixes with memories, and artist Tina Farifteh, who digs into her personal archive and writes about her memories of growing up in Iran, where daffodils are a symbol of hope.
