In medieval art the garden was a reflection of paradise, a place of harmony and fertility, shielded from worldly problems. By the 18th century this conception had shifted: the garden had become a symbol of worldly power and politics. Today, the Anthropocene, the era in which humankind dominates nature with disastrous consequences, forces us to radically rethink the role we have given the garden historically. As a result, there is renewed interest in the garden among contemporary makers, thinkers and writers, driven not by romantic desire for retreat but rather a call for a new awareness of our relationship with the earth.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Ingram Publisher","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67650239135912,"sku":"dly1791828852993","price":30.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/5638\/5448\/files\/on-the-necessity-of-gardening_1.jpg?v=1791828862","url":"https:\/\/www.hoeookmall.com\/products\/on-the-necessity-of-gardening","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
