Ian Robertson has spent a lifetime working in the world of plants and design and relies on his experience as an international garden designer to narrate a fascinating history of gardening. Beginning with Sumerians learning to garden between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, Robertson transports others through the Fertile Crescent to western Europe, forward to the British Isles, and onward to the New World all while describing the beauty of the gardens of Andrew Jackson Downing, Wolfgang Oehme, Frederick Law Olmstead, and many others. Included in his story of the foliage and blossoms that surrounded kings, princes, queens, and mistresses, Robertson shares a timeline, glossary, and roadside stopovers that make the journey up the garden path even more delightful.

The imagery that emerges is often figurative, often comforting, often non-conforming. I have been practicing art making for 45 years. In my twenties I travelled and exhibited at every women's music festival I could find. In my thirties and forties I continued to produce work but showed only occasionally, spending most of my time recovering from profound injuries sustained in a car accident in 1992. In my fifties, I gained an artist's residency on a small farm in Central Virginia and I have been producing from this bucolic place ever since" -- Deborah Justice ; FINE/FINE. Book.…
