Résumé:
This book provides an overview of the extent to which the 18th-century English Landscape Garden spread through Europe and Russia. While this type of garden acted widely as an inspiration, it was not slavishly copied but adapted to local conditions, circumstances and agendas. A garden 'in the English style' is commonly used to denote a landscape garden in Europe, while the term 'landscape garden' is used for layouts that are naturalistic in plan and resemble natural scenery, though they might be highly contrived and usually large in scale.

Résumé:
"Tiny taxonomy" describes the practice of gardening and the implications of strict classification. It seems that as the world around us gains complexity and intricacy, our biological world is trending towards monotony. As our experiences become more and more uniform, our capacity to apprehend transformation and detail diminishes. Using the scale of the individual plant, smallness becomes a design opportunity while classification embraces the aliveness of plants.

Résumé:
In the 21st century the architects and designers of urban spaces face great challenges to integrate nature in order to transform 'cement forests' into 'forest cities'. Perhaps the best solution is to go green with vertical landscapes. More than just a decorative trend, this is a means of bringing life and greenery into metropolitan areas by using different framing systems to create compositions of plant life and adapt them to diverse settings, including offices, factories, parking lots, hotels, and installations within larger parks. Enriched by the reflections of the inventive protagonists of this fertile new aesthetic, Going Green with Vertical Landscapes is organised by theme and canvases early experiments conducted by famous design companies such as Vo Trong Nghia Architects (VTN), Fytogreen Australia and RYUICHI ASHIZAWA ARCHITECTS & associates. All of these projects combine man-made materials, recent technologies, and diverse types of vegetation to conquer the vertical dimension.

Résumé:
While the New York Botanical Garden, the High Line, and Central Park are familiar names and places, other venues, such as Roosevelt Park, the Inwood Heather Garden, Brooklyn Bridge Park, and the Chinese Scholar's Garden, remain relatively under-visited and under-appreciated. In addition to parks and three botanical gardens, public horticulture in New York encompasses community- and conservancy-sponsored gardens, vest pocket parks, museum gardens, and even indoor atria. ''City Green: Public Gardens of New York'' focuses on the vitality, variety, and beauty of the city's garden landscapes in a time when the appreciation for how gardens enhance the quality of urban life is on the rise.

Résumé:
South of Geneva, Switzerland, the Aire River runs across a plain that for centuries has been agricultural land. Since the late nineteenth century, the waterway has been embanked for flood protection, which has caused a gradual loss of habitat for a large variety of plants and animals. In 2001, a decision was made to renaturalize the river. Yet rather than merely reconstructing the river’s former natural bed, Superpositions, the association of firms commissioned with the project, applied “topographic imagination,” a method that combines the embanked channel with a newly designed pasture landscape. This new book documents that renaturalization project through drawings, images of construction work, and images of the new waterway. Essays and commentary by international contributors Jean-Marc Besse, Lorette Coen, Gerorges Descombes, G. Mathias Kondolf, Elissa Rosenberg, Gilles A. Tiberghien, and Marc Treib demonstrate how the restored river has been transformed, becoming again a characteristic feature of this landscape on the fringe of the city.

Résumé:
Le jardin est un espace propice à l’innovation. Il permet d'explorer des dispositifs simples et reproductibles aidant à préserver la ressource en eau. Cet ouvrage offre un aperçu historique lié aux innovations dans les jardins. Suit une série de fiches techniques présentant une quinzaine de dispositifs permettant de gérer l’eau dans les jardins, en France et ailleurs. Ces inventions ont été glanées au fil des voyages et des rencontres d’un collectif de paysagistes, l’Atelier de l’ours. Elles sont associées à une forme d’intelligence pratique, qu’incarne la mise en œuvre d’une écologie des usages de l’eau dont les jardiniers sont les précurseurs. En complément des fiches techniques, des spécialistes de l’eau livrent leurs propres points de vue sur la question de l’eau, comme ressource et comme enjeu. Ils éclairent la diversité des approches et la nécessité de considérer le jardin comme un espace de création qui favorise, non pas la prolifération d’objets mais l’agencement d’idées nouvelles.

Comment reconnaître les différentes parties d'une fleur ? Qu'est-ce qu'une Scrofulaire ? A quelle famille de plantes appartient la Ciguë ? Comment réaliser un herbier dans les règles de l'art ? Dans ces huit lettres à l'érudition teintée de poésie, Rousseau nous invite à examiner la nature et se fait le "décodeur amusé" d'un monde végétal foisonnant et mystérieux. "Il n'y a rien de compliqué ni de difficile à suivre dans ce que j'ai à vous proposer. Il ne s'agit que d'avoir la patience de commencer par le commencement".
