The garden has been a hybrid place since its origins, born from the human desire to domesticate nature and from our eternal search for beauty, and therefore represents the space of greatest tension between the natural and the artificial. As a representation of a lost paradise, it is also universal, hence the creation throughout history of countless idyllic orchards that respond to the imagination, aspirations, and needs of specific societies. In these extraordinary pages, Marta Llorente invites us to subtly approach the reality of the garden from multiple perspectives: the journey through past and present Edens, real and fictional, will help us understand its function in the urban fabric, its manifestations in literature and art, and its future as a natural space in a context of climate emergency.
