Work
Blending personal narrative with environmental history and philosophical inquiry, this book examines the profound connection between humans and their gardens. It delves into the experience of transforming a landscape, meditating on the ethics of landscaping, the history of botanical cultivation, and the complex ways in which people shape and are shaped by the natural environments they tend. The narrative challenges traditional notions of wilderness and domesticity, presenting a garden as a meaningful middle ground where human culture and the natural world intersect. more
