HOBHOUSE, PENELOPE. Penelope Hobhouse's Gardening Through The Ages: An Illustrated History Of Plants And Their Influence On Garden Styles- From Ancient Egypt To The Present Day.
Simon and Schuster, Inc., New York: 1992. 0671728873 / 9780671728878 h Hardcover with dustjacket. Good condition. Slight discoloration to DJ.
How did a newly introduced plant arrive in a border or in a popular planting scheme? How often have new plants actually influenced and molded the designs in which they were featured? What plants were used to create certain desired effects? The multiplicity of ways in which plants have contributed to garden design is a theme of this far-reaching and absorbing study. Penelope Hobhouse - plantswoman, gardener, designer, and authority on historic gardens - is uniquely qualified to shed new light on the plantings that play a vital role in the history of garden style. Many authors have followed particular themes of this complex subject - the quest for new plants, the adventures of plant hunters, and the work of individual botanists and garden makers. Others have more broadly documented the evolution of style, but have paid scant attention to the details of what was actually grown in the gardens. Against this background of scholarship, Penelope Hobhouse focuses on the plants themselves and the interest - even passion - they have aroused. Gardening Through the Ages explores the perennial interaction between what plants are available and the ideas of the people who grow them. Includes an Index.
