By: Scaglia, Beatriz

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Gardening not only involves the ornamental growing of plants but also includes the gardening of food plants for consumption and medicinal plants for healing.

This book explores the worldwide history of gardening from the Roman and Greek gardens to the Japanese rock gardens and purposeful food gardening during the Medieval ages.

Also included are the different types of gardening including kitchen gardens, water, landscape, orchards, and much more. Finally, we profile some of the most beautiful and historic gardens around the world.
