This volume of proceedings primarily focuses on the outstanding contributions made by botany and the mathematical sciences to the genesis and development of early modern garden art and garden culture. The many facets of mathematical sciences and botany point to the increasingly 'scientific' approach that was being adopted in garden art and garden culture in the early modern period. This development unfolds in interaction with philosophical, religious, political and social processes and beliefs. This volume strikingly shows that such processes are able to make use of the knowledge of nature manifested in gardens for various purposes.
The conference that inspired this volume was jointly organized by the Leibniz Universität Hannover's Centre of Garden Art and Landscape Architecture (CGL) and the Bergische Universität Wuppertal's Interdisciplinary Centre for Science and Technology Studies (IZWT).
