Summary:

A work of art that grows and blossoms and produces delicious fruit and vegetables: that is what the British artist Nils Norman (b 1966) has devised for various locations in The Hague. He cooperated with volunteers to create a special vegetable garden, "Edible garden", on the basis of permaculture, a form of ecological gardening. In this book Norman explains how he sets to work, what his sources of inspiration are, and in which artistic and social-critical context his work can be placed.
