Paraiso Mexicano : gardens, landscapes, and Mexican soul
Colle, Marie-Pierre
Paraiso Mexicano : gardens, landscapes, and Mexican soul / Marie-Pierre Colle - New York : Clarkson Potter , 2002 - 240 p. : illus. ; 30 cm
Mexican landscape -- Popular garden -- Colonial garden -- Hacienda gardens -- Gardens of Luis Barragán -- Contemporary gardens -- Garden and personality -- Gardens near Mexico City -- Gardens along the coasts -- Gardens to visit.
The gardens of Mexico are some of the most extraordinary in the world, and the people of Mexico have cultivated a deeply spiritual connection and reverence for their land. Through generations of toil and inventiveness, they found ways to tame the soil, using bold combinations of plants. As Alfonso Alfaro writes in his introduction, the culture was synonymous with plant life, and plant life was transformed into art.
