Sinossi

In 'The Wild Garden,' W. Robinson explores the intricate relationship between nature and human intervention, presenting a compelling argument for a more organic approach to gardening. Written in an accessible yet eloquent style, the book weaves together practical advice with philosophical musings, positioning it within the broader context of the late 19th-century gardening movement. Robinson's work advocates for a wild, untamed garden aesthetic, drawing on influences from contemporary thought and the emerging notions of nature conservation, inviting readers to consider the harmony between cultivated spaces and the natural world. W. Robinson, a horticulturist and author rooted in the Victorian era, is celebrated for his passionate belief in the beauty of spontaneous plant life. His personal experiences'Äîincluding his struggles against the rigid formalism of traditional gardening'Äîserved as catalysts for this transformative text. Robinson's dedication to preserving native flora and fostering biodiversity in gardens reflects his pioneering spirit, as he sought to redefine the evolving perceptions of landscape and aesthetics that prevailed in his time. This book serves as an essential read for both novice gardeners and seasoned horticulturists alike, as it offers insightful strategies for creating ecologically sustainable gardens. Robinson's emphasis on authenticity and the celebration of imperfection invites readers to embrace a more naturalistic gardening aesthetic, making 'The Wild Garden' not only a manual for gardening but also a profound meditation on our connection to the environment.

    Both, namely the Heart and Mind, are the basic ingredients for forming a humble person. 
    The heart is like a small child who if left alone will endanger himself and others, Mind is like a 
    parent who if there are no children, the completeness of the family becomes unbalanced. The 
    heart will be good if it comes from wise directions at the level of reason, but it will be bad if it 
    comes from directions to the lack of understanding of the Mind. 
    This reason is also developed into a beautiful sentence from the scholars of wisdom, namely 
    العقل السليم فى الجسم التسليم 
    "A good reason is found in a good body" 
    in that sentence, there are those who say that its application is very dialectical, meaning that not 
    only is the reason mentioned first, all humans are able to implement it. the meaning of that 
    sentence is that the body can be the first application. dialectic is one of the evidences of a fact 
    where something cannot be 
    a thing that stops statically or definitely, it is so easy to move position from the beginning to 
    point A to point B, from being at point B a minute later it can be positioned at 
    point A, the most important part in this case is Nothing Is Out of the Participation 
    of the Almighty. Namely "a good body is very strongly bound to a good mind" 
    then it becomes; 
    الجسم السليم فى العقل التسليم 
    According to the famous Cultural Expert and Scholar Emha Ainun Nadjib, the following are the 
    various kinds of inversions of a dialectic, which are the diversity of perspectives and ways of 
    thinking of every human being who is willing to process it, for the sake of continuity and 
    suitability of a life path that is carried out.
