Abstract
This paper documents the custom of the “jardinets” (“little gardens”) in various popular festivities in the town of benissa (Marina alta, país Valencià), which represent the fossilization in contemporary folklore of the ancient “gardens of adonis”. Following these exemples we make a state of the art on the subject, and formulate several questions to see if modern gardens could be a tool for the study and the better understanding of the ancient gardens.
