Resumen de Gardens on paper: Prints and drawings 1200-1900 and London's pride: The glorious history of the capital's gardens and the nursery garden

John Dixon Hunt

  • Exhibitions of gardens and garden history are nigh impossible, for all Sir Roy Strong's call in The Sunday Times of London (6 May 1990) for a British museum of garden history. Images of gardens can be put on walls; garden sculpture, seats or examples of free-standing trellis work or arbours can be featured; miniature gardenist spaces can even be recreated; yet one is still emphatically not in a garden. One doubts whether even the recreation of a whole series of cultural garden identikits along the lines of what Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe has designed for the Moody Gardens, Galveston, Texas, can really accommodate gardens within a museum format. And books which record garden exhibitions remove us yet one stage further from the realities of the material they often lovingly record.
