Sommario/riassunto

The Lady Gardeners are those women who, from the eighteenth century to the present day, have been working in a garden, from imagining and



creating it, to sowing, planting, pruning, painting and photographing plants, and moving from garden design to more urgent themes such as landscape conservation and environmental issues.
