Holland, Garden of the World

Introduction written by Ir. J. J. Pape
If one needs any evidence to assert the claim that the Dutch will garden such barren spaces as their condo balconies and make it blossom, than the photographs in this book will provide it. The term 'garden' gets stretched in many ways by gardenless Dutch flower enthusiasts. For example, a row of flower pots and or planters hanging on railings up five floors high are also evidence of the resourcefulness of green-thumbs folks who create gardens in very small spaces. The condo dwelling flower enthusiasts benefit greatly from the country's horticultural industry which is huge and is support by an infrastructure bar none. This book also offers that evidence in text and image. One should not be startled to discover that other countries use Dutch distribution channels to send their flowers flying to faraway cities on another continent. Say it with flowers. Indeed. Remember there is no need to water the flowers one enjoys by getting into this book.
Hardcover with jacket, 274 pages, text in Dutch, English, German and French. A Dutch Heritage title.
