Leberecht Migge's "Green Manifesto": Envisioning a Revolution of Gardens
David H. Haney
Leberecht Migge's "Green Manifesto," published in Germany in 1919,
represents one of the most overtly political tracts ever written by a
landscape architect. In this do***ent, Migge proposed that all social
and economic problems of the German nation could be solved by creating
as many gardens as possible, which included parks, but most im****tantly,
small, intensive vegetable gardens where everyone could grow their own
food. If "everyman" could be self-sufficient, then they supposedly would
enjoy relative freedom from the domination of the capitalist system.
Migge's vision was not of a nostalgic return to nature, but a synthesis
of garden, dwelling, and communal space that embraced the latest
developments in technology. Migge applied the principles of the garden
and gardening to the whole country, proposing such forward-looking
policies as regional and national resource management. This paper
examines the background conditions which led Migge to make such broad
claims of economic, political, and social im****tance for the garden, and
considers some negative aspects of his position, specifically in light
of colonialist nationalism.
