Through a literary portrait of eight garden architects who defined the urban greenery of the city of Barcelona over the course of a century, and applying an aesthetic approach to its parks and gardens, ‘Gardeners’ illuminates a Catalan tradition. Following these eight central figures, the book reveals a craft inherited and passed down from generation to generation of garden architects – a legacy that began with the great Barcelona expansion and the construction of the Eixample district. It features projects by Josep Fontserè, Antoni Gaudí, Jean Claude Nicolas Forestier, Nicolau Rubió i Tudurí, Lluís Riudor, Joaquim Maria Casamor, Antoni Falcón, and Patrizia Falcone.
