This illustrated book also includes a chapter with suggestions for creating a “garden of meaning” and a selected catalogue of plants with symbolic or mythological associations. Based on ten years of research, travel and curiostiy, this text is also the result of a personal quest – to reveal the mystical codes written in the astonishing worlds of gardens worldwide.
