Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides an enthralling look into the Gardens of Acclimatisation in the Canary Islands. Founded in the 18th century by the Marquis de Villanueva, the gardens were conceived as a place to gradually acclimatize exotic plants to temperate climates. The author delves into the history of the gardens, from their early promise to their current state of disrepair. Through meticulous research and vivid descriptions, the author explores the challenges and successes of acclimatizing plants in a new environment. The book offers insights into the complex relationship between humans and nature, and the ongoing quest to understand and control the natural world. Ultimately, this book is a testament to the enduring fascination with botanical exploration and the human desire to bring the wonders of nature closer to home. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
