Exploring the garden through art

Last year Phaidon, brought out a wonderfully opulent book – Garden, Exploring the Horticultural World. It explores the idea of the garden through art, advertising, manuals, plans and other visual materials (including Fergus Garrett’s monthly garden task planner and a canister of ‘Slug Death’). It’s a gorgeous production to leaf through, covering and a huge and diverse global range of material. We talk to its editor Matt Biggs, Kristine Paulus – Collection Development Librarian at the New York Botanic Garden and Phaidon editor Victoria Clarke.
