This meant, certainly, tracking the garden imagination and inventions back to some of Finlay's early non-garden art, but it also required that the essay begin with the gardens and landscapes themselves , n their own right, and only then invoke Finlay's rich and prolific writing and book production as aids to understanding hos he envisaged the making of gardens in the contemporary world." Dr. Hunt visited the Sackner Archive for parts of his research and acknowledged that "this book could not have been published without recourse to the superb Finlay collections of Marvin and Ruth Sackner, and I thank them for their kind agreement to let me reproduce materials [12...
