Gardens of Colombia / Colombian Gardens

【Foreign Book】Gardens of Colombia

【Product Details】
Unlike architecture and sculpture, garden art is a work that "lives, grows, blooms, changes, and eventually fades," making it arguably the highest form of art. Just as with the Palace of Versailles and grand estates in England, gardens in Colombia are an important element that complements buildings, and courtyards and patios are deeply rooted in daily life, regardless of region or city.
Colombia's climate and flora vary greatly from region to region, but everyone, regardless of social class, loves plants and gardens, and has created their own gardens according to their preferences and financial means, even before professional landscape architects appeared.
This book contains photographs of various gardens, from large-scale gardens like parks to small flower corners, depicting gardens as a place of "experimentation," where people bring back and try new plants every time they travel or go on a weekend outing.
Although it was not possible to include all the excellent gardens or capture the most beautiful moments of the gardens in photographs, readers can enjoy the unique charm of Colombian gardens through the diversity of plants, colors, composition, and harmony with the natural landscape, in place of a "great classical tradition."
