Our Garden Book

Our Garden. An illustrated journey through the heart of the National Garden of Athens
By Athina Delyannis

Published by Anavasi Editions

"Ο Κήπος Μας" (Our Garden) by Athina Delyannis offers an illustrated exploration of the National Garden of Athens, one of the city’s most emblematic public spaces. The book places the Garden at its core – a space where nature meets urban memory. The narrative unfolds like a promenade: each image becomes a pause, a sensitive mapping of the real. Readers are invited to recognize familiar paths and scenes, rediscovering on the page what they may encounter on a real walk.

The reading experience extends beyond the book into the Garden itself. It nurtures attention, a sense of belonging, and an understanding of the urban environment. The city becomes less abstract, closer, more habitable – at least in the imagination.

As an art object, the book is also a finely crafted edition. The delicacy of the line, the handmade aesthetics, and careful printing place it within the world of artistic publishing – intended for both children and adults.

At a time when our relationship with the city calls for new forms of attention, "Our Garden" offers a calm and sensitive view of the public landscape, reminding us that reality can become a place of daydreaming – if we take the time to look.

Our Garden is available through Anavasi Editions.
