“The Garden” – editorial

“The English garden has chaos as its substantial characteristic. Flowers and plants of all kinds grow in its limited space, alternating and tangling until it becomes difficult to understand where one ends and the other begins. The English garden basically wants to imitate the very state of nature, with its multiplicity and fluidity. Nature versus culture, a centuries-long history. In the gardens, as in our own being, we try to bring order. But not in the English garden, where chaos is protected, where change is enhanced.”
