Structured as an original abecedarium, On the Necessity of Gardening shares the idea of a garden serving as an abundant source of inspiration.
Over time, creatives (artists, writers, and poets) have described, understood and illustrated the garden in various ways. A garden may represent a corner of paradise filled with harmony and thriving life, protected from a disastrous outside world.
