Reviewing the cultural history of gardens

摘要

For those with sharp eyes or long memories it will be noted that this is the twenty-fifth volume of Australian Garden History,quarterly journal of the Australian Garden History Society. We feel a jubilee is worth celebrating and this issue includes a diverse range of treats.Firstly we welcome sponsorship from The University of Melbourne (through the Ellis Stones Memorial Fund), awarded to assist the journal and its editors to foster scholarship and interest amongst a rising generation of garden historians through accessibleand innovative means. This will include an investigation into the possibility of delivering this journal on a digital platform (to augment rather than dispense with our current format)—the landscape is changing rapidly, and if we wish to avoid extinction we need to adapt.
