ItemLives & legacies : exceptional Australian garden-makers of the 20th centuryVale, Anne Virginia (University of Melbourne, 2009)The proposition presented in this thesis, is that in order to examine the various influences on garden-making in Australia during the 1900s, it is important to include a breadth of writers and practitioners. Through the 1900s, garden-making progressed through exciting and interesting phases, often dictated to by international and national events of significance, such as wars, drought and fluctuating levels of affluence. Numerous creative individuals responded to the prevailing circumstances by promoting their particular interpretation of what 'a garden' was. Only a few have had their activities recorded. The promotion of these 'few' has presented a narrow view of garden-making in Australia during this time. A number of methods have been adopted for this study in order to determine which individuals would be included. Once the individuals to be discussed were determined, they were collated into four themes according to the particular era in which they operated and their philosophical approach. This thematic representation depicts various facets of garden-making that occurred within the period under discussion. The study identifies a variety of influences that shaped an individual's work; it explores how they subsequently exerted their own influence and any legacy that may be attributed to them. The study concludes that many individuals, rather than a select few, contributed to a rich and highly diverse history of garden-making in the 20th century. These creative visionaries and pioneers established a legacy that is of particular importance to Australians. This contribution to current knowledge improves our understanding of why and how we have gardened in the past. In turn, this informs the creation of a practical and philosophical framework towards garden-making into the future
