Qu’ils soient ruraux ou urbains, les jardins sont les pivots de vastes systèmes territoriaux, à l’interface entre nature et culture. Depuis leur apparition, leur composition a évolué selon les civilisations, les époques, les courants artistiques et le développement des innovations techniques, biologiques ou encore hydrauliques. Symboles de pouvoir et parfois de domination, les jardins ne sont pas que des espaces verts : ils sont aussi des lieux politiques. Au-delà de l’opposition stérile entre "jardins à la française" et "jardins à l’anglaise", Hervé Brunon jette un regard neuf sur une forme de création dont les origines remontent au Néolithique. À l’heure des crises écologiques, il importe plus que jamais de connaître et de cultiver notre jardin.
