Why do we so often connect our childhoods with gardens? Why has the myth of a lost Eden been so ubiquitous and so formative? \u003ci\u003eThe Green Fuse: Essays in Making Sense of Gardens\u003c\/i\u003e explores our deep-rooted impulses to create gardens, examining them through the lenses of history, religion, nostalgia, and myth.

Blending lyrical reflections with research, \u003ci\u003eThe Green Fuse\u003c\/i\u003e offers an unusually wide-ranging and thoughtful perspective on gardens and why we make them. It will be ideal for all readers interested in gardening and its cultural implications.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Dale\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1836390289\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781836390282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Reaktion Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/19\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Peter Dale","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46526451941631,"sku":"9781836390282","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b394ea89-85e2-4434-af79-243fca8c3ab3.jpg?v=1737556224","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-green-fuse-peter-dale-9781836390282","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
