Never before had the garden to fulfil so many demands as
it does today. It is a refuge from digitalised life and acts as a bridge
to nature. As a man-made place where plants grow, it is cultivated and
untamable at the same time. While for centuries the gardener's ambition
was to control and subjugate nature, today it serves more as a place for
retreat, a possible surrogate for wilderness, a habitat for animals or
it fulfils the dream of self-sufficiency.

In this book,
landscape architects, sociologists, architects, artists, philosophers
and historians illuminate different aspects of the garden in the
Anthropocene in six chapters: the garden as a place of community, garden
as art, garden as a place of enchantment and rapture, opening up
questions of what garden as a model could stand for.
