What a garden tells us about the gardener?
I want to look into topics/behaviors/aesthetics/meanings of things like Speed up growth with fertilizers, cutting plants to shape, letting the garden grow wild, combine non organic and organic objects, adjust the landscape to fit a certian look, what decoration elements get used, what food crops are preferred, how do people use a garden, what feeling do people miss if they donโt have a garden or maybe donโt miss because they never lived with oneโฆ

Quinta da Regaleira: the park is orderly at the bottom and open at the top, with elaborately carved benches; the well shafts are not intended as wells but for ceremonial walks (connected to tunnels and grottoes) โ in other words, lake fountains
Waldbaden Shinrin-Yoku โ Tyrolean common sense: the forest is good for you and restores peopleโs health pysical and mental
Pexton Glasshouse โ the first large-scale greenhouse, designed for tropical plants, was heated underground using roaring coal stoves, featured a gravity-fed fountain, and had a transparent partition separating it from the outside,

Kitchen garden and pleasure garden; water is fundamental; obtaining water and retaining it there,
Egyptian gardens โ luxury, and closely linked to life and death. The pharaohs wanted their tombs to be in gardens; rich gardens were carved into their tombstones; the tree goddess was a very important symbol.
There were almost no ladders โ people (slaves referred to as โmonkeysโ) would climb the tree trunks, or real monkeys were tamed.

Oriental gardens โ palm gardens, shade, open to all, 1/3 city, 1/3 river, 1/3 garden; gardeners received 1/3 of the harvest; palm trees were pollinated by hand; the only place to find shade outside the garden; dates were harvested too early and then artificially scored to control their ripening process
