On the Necessity of Gardening tells the story of the garden as a rich source of inspiration. Over the centuries artists, writers, poets, and thinkers have each described, depicted, and designed the garden in different ways. more In medieval art, the garden was a reflection of paradise, a place of harmony and fertility, shielded from worldly problems.

Through essays and an extensive abecedarium this book reflects on the garden as a metaphor for society.
