Dancing with Time

Gardens provoke thought and engagement in ways that are often overlooked. This book explores the philosophical issues raised by art gardens, such as the meaningful encounters of humans, animals and plants in the context of the garden. Tupare, a garden in New Zealand, is used as source material.
