"Gap Plant Enthusiasts" Around the World Who Watch Over Nameless Greenery Every Day
The author, who continues to share her experiences as a "street gardening enthusiast," sees her own hidden "wildness" reflected in the greenery living in the gaps of the city, and remains captivated by its uncontrollable nature.
This book is a major work in which the author contacted 18 "gap plant enthusiasts" in 13 countries around the world and conducted interviews over approximately two years!
Japan, France, Turkey, Mexico, South Korea, Taiwan, Italy, Sweden, Brazil, Singapore, USA, Netherlands, New Zealand. A total of 19 people who see greenery. Through their individual stories and a total of 800 photographs, we see the "wildness" of the Earth hidden in everyday life.
