Item description from seller

245 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm ISBN 9781450210164, 9781450210140, 9781450210157, 1450210163, 1450210147, 1450210155 OCLC 779844298 ; darks slate grey cloth in color illustrated dustjacket with illustration by Deborah Justice ; In Six Thousand Years up the Garden Path, a seasoned horticulturalist takes others on a light-hearted and magical journey through the history of gardens. Ian Robertson has spent a lifetime working in the world of plants and design and relies on his experience as an international garden designer to narrate a fascinating history of gardening. Beginning with Sumerians learning to garden between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, Robertson transports others through the Fertile Crescent to western Europe, forward to the British Isles, and onward to the New World all while describing the beauty of the gardens of Andrew Jackson Downing, Wolfgang Oehme, Frederick Law Olmstead, and many others. Included in his story of the foliage and blossoms that surrounded kings, princes, queens, and mistresses, Robertson shares a timeline, glossary, and roadside stopovers that make the journey up the garden path even more delightful. Tailored for the enjoyment of either experienced or novice gardeners immersed in the second fastest growing hobby in America, Robertson provides insights into the people, events, and plants that have vibrantly colored the landscape of the world for thousands of years.; Ian Robertson is a horticulturalist, international garden designer, business owner, lecturer, and occasional broadcaster. Married with four sons, he lives in Virginia, where he enjoys his time battling with the plants and plans in his own garden. ; Deborah Justice states: "I listen, mostly. I listen to the wind here in the Blue Ridge Mountains; to the rocks and the ancestors and the frustrations and elations that swirl through the seasons. I received training in traditional fine art media and practices, but I often reverse engineer the products to meet materials in their most natural state. I use Virginia clay, wood from surrounding trees, charcoal from the fire, salt, rain water. it's much like conjuring. The imagery that emerges is often figurative, often comforting, often non-conforming. I have been practicing art making for 45 years. In my twenties I travelled and exhibited at every women's music festival I could find. In my thirties and forties I continued to produce work but showed only occasionally, spending most of my time recovering from profound injuries sustained in a car accident in 1992. In my fifties, I gained an artist's residency on a small farm in Central Virginia and I have been producing from this bucolic place ever since" -- Deborah Justice ; FINE/FINE.
