• Resumen

  • According to Francis Bacon a garden "is the purest of human pleasures; it is the greatest refreshment to the spirits of man; without which buildings and palaces are but gross handyworks" (Of Gardens, 1625). But how can we define a garden? Humphry Repton helps us when he writes in his Fragments on Landscape Gardening and Architecture of 1816.
