Summary: 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.

As Alfonso Alfaro writes in his introduction, the culture was synonymous with plant life, and plant life was transformed into art.
