Avant Gardening

Avant Gardening explores gardens created purely for pleasure rather than food production. We will delve into the history of pleasure gardens across different periods and regions, as well as examine contemporary gardens designed for enjoyment. A key focus will be on the social and economic contexts in which these gardens were conceived, alongside an exploration of the work of several notable garden designers.

Contributors will include individuals with a keen interest in the history and development of pleasure gardens, offering insights into the origins of various designs and their influence on the evolution of these spaces.
