The earliest record of an enclosed space around a homestead come from 10,000 BC and since then gardens of varying types and ambition have been popular throughout the ages. Whether ornamental patches surrounding wild cottages, container gardens blooming over unforgiving concrete or those turned over for growing produce, gardens exist in all shapes and sizes, in all manner of styles. Today we benefit from centuries of development, be it in the cultivation of desirable blossom or larger fruits, in the technology to keep weeds and lawn at bay or even in the visionaries who tore up rulebooks and cultivated pure creativity in their green spaces. George Drower takes fifty objects that have helped create the gardening scene we know today and explores the history outside spaces in a truly unique fashion. With stunning botanical and archive images, this lavish volume is essential for garden lovers.

Bamboos are fascinating for their beauty, elegance and variety of form, not to mention their importance in the symbolism of Far Eastern poetry and art. Garden designers have for a long time recognised the many possibilities offered by this unique plant. Here the reader is offered all the information they need to grow bamboos in garden, on balconies and terraces, in conservatories and even in roof gardens. Fascination with bamboos has led many gardeners to buy them but ignorance of their requirements has often brought frustration and despair. This book aims to correct that situation and offers a major source of detailed reference and inspirational colour pictures.

By the early eighteenth century botanists were inching towards the shocking truth that plants had male and female organs and reproduced sexually. The first person to realize the practical implications of this was London nurseryman and author Thomas Fairchild. By transferring the pollen of a sweet William into the pistil of a carnation, he created a new plant that became known as Fairchilds Mule: the first man-made hybrid in Europe. But this primitive form of genetic engineering aroused a scientific and religious furore. Michael Leapman offers fascinating and colourful detail about the life and times of Fairchild, a troubled, gentle soul whose pioneering work changed the course of horticulture and paved the way for the growth of gardening as a cultural obsession.A beguiling perambulation around the Georgian nursery trade. Sir Roy Strong, Daily Mail

Gardening is one of the most popular leisure activities today and most people take it for granted that suitable plants, equipment and information are easily available. This was not always the case. Anne Wilkinsons engaging book recreates the world of amateur Victorian gardeners those who had no idea how to start gardening, and no information to help them. In the 1860s gardening was mainly the preserve of professionals who worked on large estates, but a new breed of gardeners was emerging ordinary householders. Their gardens range from country cottage and rectory gardens to urban gardens behind terraced houses. With no help from the professionals who refused to believe that gardens in towns were a practical possibility those innovators laid down the foundations for modern amateur gardening as it is today. This book, richly illustrated with images from contemporary magazines and other sources, explores their journey to create their own piece of Englands green and pleasant land.

Inspirándose en la restauración de su propio jardín, Olivia Laing se embarca en una estimulante investigación del paraíso. En 2020, comenzó a restaurar un jardín amurallado del siglo XVIII en Suffolk, un eden cubierto de plantas insolitas. Este ensayo saca a la luz una cuestion crucial para nuestra epoca: ¿quien puede vivir en el paraiso y como podemos compartirlo mientras aun estemos a tiempo? Moviendose entre jardines reales e imaginarios, desde El paraiso perdido de Milton hasta las elegias sobre los cercamientos de John Clare, desde un santuario en tiempos de guerra en Italia hasta un grotesco campo de recreo aristocratico financiado por la esclavitud, Laing cuestiona el coste, en ocasiones escandaloso, de construir el paraiso en la tierra. Pero la historia del jardin no siempre representa modelos de privilegio y exclusion. Tambien es escenario de avanzadillas rebeldes y sueños comunitarios. Desde la utopia queer conjurada por Derek Jarman en la playa de Dungeness hasta la fertil vision de un Eden comun soñada por William Morris, entre los parterres de flores se han intentado nuevos modos de vida, experimentos que podrian resultar vitales en la proxima era del cambio climatico. El resultado es un relato bello y exigente de los abundantes placeres y posibilidades de los jardines: no como un lugar donde esconderse del mundo, sino como un sitio de encuentro y descubrimiento.

Una gestion adecuada de los recursos hidricos puede ayudar a paliar esta situacion y es necesaria para un desarrollo sostenible.Una de las medidas para conseguir una gestion adecuada de los recursos hidricos en la agricultura es la automatizacion y el telecontrol de los sistemas de riego. Se trata de registrar y repartir de un modo adecuado las cantidades de agua y fertilizantes que se manejan en riego utilizando diversas herramientas tecnologicas proporcionadas por la electronica digital. La automatizacion y el telecontrol facilitan la gestion en el uso del agua de riego y la facturacion por el volumen de agua consumido. En las redes de agua a presion de zonas regables, la automatizacion y el telecontrol representan un porcentaje elevado de las inversiones que se realizan. Por otra parte, existe una amplia oferta en el mercado que propone sistemas de telecontrol muy diferentes.En definitiva, la automatizacion y el telecontrol de los sistemas de riego contribuyen de manera decisiva a la sostenibilidad de los recursos hidricos en un entorno donde las carencias y baja calidad del agua son cada dia mas crecientes.Este libro ofrece una vision generica de las posibles aplicaciones de los sistemas de automatizacion y control en la gestion y manejo de regadios e instalaciones de riego.

We Made a Garden is the story of how Margery Fish, one of the leading British gardeners of the mid-20th century, and her husband Walter transformed an acre of wilderness into a stunning cottage garden, still open to the public at East Lambrook Manor, Somerset, England.

So many gardening books tell you what to plant and where and when. But how often do they tell you to just sit and enjoy them? And when you do, you can find yourself thinking of things in a different way.With an exceptional academic career in natural history and medicine, writer Joanna Geyer-Kordesch found reflection, consolation and healing in the soothing, healing powers of gardens after suffering from a major stroke. Sharing profound reflections on how gardening has helped her regenerate, Why Gardens Matter is as enlightening as it is inspirational. With contributions from Donald Smith, this is a powerful plea for us to reflect on our gardens and to acknowledge the life-affirming values of our green spaces.
