Description
What kinds of ornamental plants can we expect
in the future? Biotechnology, we're told, will change
gardening-but will it really? The evidence so far is that
technology will change gardening only in rather small ways:
what will be more important will be the aesthetic values we
bring to gardening.
Taught by George Gessert. |
