Russian Parks and Gardens
|
We go to a part of the world where the climate is extremely harsh, so you wouldn't imagine that horticulture and garden design would be an important part of life there. Some people might think of Russia in terms of the magnificent architecture and interiors of its onion-domed churches and gilded palaces, but Russia has a rich history outside of the window. Russian Parks and Gardens is a wonderful new book that traces 800 years of garden design there. Geraldine Doogue talks to the author, Peter Hayden, about his research as a garden historian.
