The idea of a Garden

"The gardener doesn't take it for granted that man's impact on nature will always be negative"(Pollan, 608). There always exists conflict between man and nature. In his quest to create a new environment which best satisfies his meaning of civilazation, man has adversely affected nature and as a result, natural environments such as forests, savannas, parks,rivers, gardens, and countless others no longer exist in places they once were, but rather, tall buildings and concrete pavements.It would also interest you to know that amimals species have also disappeared because of the nagative impact which man's involvement with nature as produced on natural places, and, for instance, "These places had lost most of their breathing space to factories and crowded rows of houses where there had once been small parks and backyard gardens"(White, 29). The point is, man's idea of urban nature has led to depletion of nature.Man has transformed the landscape to reflect his own design.
On the whole, man has tempered with the natural order of the environment to the disadvantage of nature itself.
