The Garden of Eden

A journey through the history of gardening

From the legendary Hanging Gardens of Babylon to the refined symmetry of Renaissance landscapes, The Garden of Eden is a captivating exploration of how gardens have shaped and reflected civilizations throughout history.

With a masterful blend of historical depth and aesthetic sensitivity, Dr. Esteban Hernández-Bermejo takes readers on a journey where green spaces emerge as expressions of belief, artistry, and innovation.

More than a visual and cultural tour of iconic gardens, this book is a profound meditation on humanity’s evolving relationship with nature. Combining perspectives from botany, landscape architecture, and art history, the author reveals gardens as more than places of beauty—they are symbols of power, spirituality, and knowledge. From sacred oases of antiquity to Renaissance botanical experiments, this work illuminates the role of horticulture in the cultural and scientific advancements of different eras.

At a time when sustainability and biodiversity preservation are more urgent than ever, The Garden of Eden invites readers to rediscover natural sanctuaries not just as historical treasures, but as essential spaces of harmony and renewal.
