More Than: An Afterword

ABSTRACT

This Afterword finds that the collection, ‘The Art of Gardens’, encourages one to extend the notion of gardens as art to art, including the anthropologist’s own efforts, as a garden.

KEYWORDS:

• Melanesia
• Amazonia
• tropical gardens
• art forms
• regeneration

Acknowledgement
