Readings: Green Dreams: Gardens

     For starters, this was kind of a difficult read. Just for the fact that there was so much information to take in it kind of felt never ending to me. But in all, it was a good read. Robert Harbison talks about gardens from around the world and how he sees them in his eyes in full detail. It's almost like he's painting the picture for your mind to see these gardens with his words. Just like painting, he says we should read into gardens, be close up to them and study them. He also tells us we should go out and experience them for ourselves.
     With reading this I must agree with Robert Harbison. Sometimes we tend to take nature and gardens for granted. I feel that nature and gardens are indeed beautiful and we should go out more and experience them a lot more, while we still can. Soon enough we either won't have them at all or they'll be so fake that we won't be able to get the real feeling of a real garden again.

  1. Did you look up any of the famous gardens mentioned: Versailles, Boboli, Bomarzo, Tivoli? Bernini's Four rivers fountain? If you have the images to refer to, the reading becomes a bit easier.
