Description

 

The main purpose of this book is to show that Hamilton Gardens has a serious and quite unique concept with its own integrity. Like a play, movie, or the various instruments in an orchestra, if you take bits out, it loses a lot of its meaning, validity, and impact. It explains each existing and proposed garden in the collection and how gardens can help us understand the world. It’s also the story of Hamilton Gardens’ transformation from a city dump to a must-see visitor attraction. Each completed or proposed garden is a piece of a puzzle that collectively reveals the context, meaning and history of gardens, and how each form of garden reflects a significant step in the development of civilisation.’ The author and mastermind behind Hamilton Gardens, Peter Sergel, fits all of those pieces together for the first time. Photographs by Grant Sheehan

The Hamilton Gardens concept is about the history of gardens, rather than gardens from every country, there’s less understanding of how each form of garden reflects a significant step in the development of civilisation, which is a major reason for this book.
