Edited by Gilles Clément, Nicolas Bonnefant, Miguel Georgieff, Pablo Georgieff.
Highlighting the diversity of our relationships with the beings that inhabit this planet together
This book, edited by French gardener, botanist and writer Gilles Clément (born 1943) and Coloco, a collective of landscape architects, artists, urban planners and botanists, showcases how we can live in harmony with nature and appreciate all its diversity, acting as gardeners and guardians. Adopting the point of view of the "planetary gardener" requires personal sensitivity, scientific rigor and practical experience. Beyond what nature can do for us, let’s ask: What can we do for nature? Let’s widen our focus, but above all, let’s adopt a code of conduct and take immediate action on all fronts. The book features the work of gardeners who work on vast landscapes as well as very small gardens, and who are also involved in movements of resistance and activism. The final section of the book helps and inspires the reader to get started on their own part of the planetary garden.
