Named one of “the year’s best gardening books” by The Spectator (UK, Nov. 2014) The 1890s saw a revolution in advertising. Cheap paper, faster printing, rural mail delivery, railroad shipping, and chromolithography combined to pave the way for the first modern, mass-produced catalogs. The most prominent of these, reaching American households by the thousands, were seed and nursery catalogs with beautiful pictures of middle-class homes surrounded by sprawling lawns, exotic plants, and the latest garden accessories—in other words, the quintessential English-style garden. America’s Romance with the English Garden is the story of tastemakers and homemakers, of savvy businessmen and a growing American middle class eager to buy their products. It’s also the story of the beginnings of the modern garden industry, which seduced the masses with its images and fixed the English garden in the mind of the American consumer. Seed and nursery catalogs delivered aspirational images to front doorsteps from California to Maine, and the English garden became the look of America.

Vom Paradiesgarten der Hesperiden bis zum "Garten Eden": Die Menschen haben sich Parks und Gärten immer als utopische Gegenentwürfe zur Widersprüchlichkeit und Unvollkommenheit der Realität erträumt, als bukolische Traumgefilde, in denen der Wolf neben dem Lämmchen schläft und die Gesetze der Welt keine Gültigkeit haben. Die Geschichte zeigt jedoch: Nichts ist unpolitisch - auch nicht die Gärtner. So war der Gartenbau im zwanzigsten Jahrhundert immer auch ein Feld ideologischer Auseinandersetzungen, etwa im Rahmen der nationalsozialistischen Umgestaltung des Gartenbauwesens ab 1938. Doch auch schon 1918/19, also zwanzig Jahre vor dem sogenannten "Anschluss", wurde das österreichische Gartenbauwesen einem revolutionären Umgestaltungsprozess unterworfen. Der Erste Weltkrieg und der Untergang der k. k. Monarchie hatten zahlreiche Adelsdynastien in den ökonomischen Abgrund gerissen – mit weitreichenden Folgen: Schlösser konnten nicht mehr erhalten werden, Gärten und Parks verfielen. Ein Gutteil der Ländereien und Besitzungen lag zudem außerhalb der Grenzen des neuen Österreichs. Zahlreiche Gärtner und ihre Familien verloren ihren Arbeitsplatz. Die Verwerfungen des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts haben also auch im Gartenbauwesen tiefe Spuren hinterlassen, die zum Teil bis heute fortwirken. Die Publikation von Erika Karner behandelt den bisher nur spärlich untersuchten Zeitabschnitt von 1918 bis 1945 in der Geschichte des österreichischen Gartenbaus – speziell in der Berufsgruppe der Gartenarchitekten, Landschaftsgärtner, Gartengestalter und Gartentechniker – im Kontext der österreichischen Zeitgeschichte. Am Beispiel von Verbänden, Schulen, Betrieben und Biografien maßgeblicher Berufsvertreter und führender Pioniere im Gartenbau wird der Einfluss der politischen bzw. ideologischen Machtapparate auf die Berufsgruppe beleuchtet.
