About this book

Originally published in 1870, The Wild Garden presented an alternative to the dominant garden aesthetic of its era, promoting a naturalistic approach in which hardy plants—both native and non-native species—are grouped to resemble natural landscapes. Robinson's advocacy helped establish the naturalistic style as a dominant force in garden design, and his ideas remain relevant to contemporary practice. This expanded edition features a new introductory essay by Rick Darke that examines Robinson's influence on garden design and ecology, and discusses his continued significance for modern gardeners, designers, and landscape professionals. The book includes over 100 photographs by Darke, featuring Gravetye and contemporary naturalistic gardens.
