초록

This paper attempts to reconceive gardens as a popular space and proposes the desire for green space as a new human condition in the modernizing world. This paper focused on a half-century long movement through which the London public tried to gain a better access to Kew Gardens, which eventually transformed Kew Gardens into a public place. In order to understand the social origin of this movement, the paper weaves the voices and experiences of diverse groups of people: people at Kew, Londoners, and the British people of different classes. The paper first looks at the confrontation between the spectators and the people at Kew on the issue of the open hours of Kew Gardens. It then sketches the evolution of the social significance of gardens by juxtaposing how leisure class and urban bourgeoisie have desired green space with different venues with a number of social clubs of horticulture and the Park Movement. Lastly, the paper displays the presence of the working-classes in Kew Gardens after the success of the movement to extend open hours of Kew. This paper is a story of how a newly found desire for green space and the introduction of leisure to the wider population transformed the Royal Botanic Garden at Kew into a genuinely ‘public park.’
