Böcker av Peter Berg

One of Germany's most lauded landscape designers shares his own journey of discovery to show how anyone can create a timeless and sustainable garden for themselves. In this visually exciting and highly personal book, acclaimed garden designer Peter Berg tells readers how a chance encounter with a scholar of the work of Count Hermann von Pückler-Muskau--a famed nineteenth century landscape designer--provided him with the inspiration he needed to pursue his own stellar career.First Berg introduces Pückler's guiding principles and offers examples of how Pückler's gardens have remained lasting monuments to aesthetic unity, composition, and adaptation to their natural surroundings. Then Berg leads a tour of ten of his own exquisite garden designs. Berg shows today's gardeners how Pückler's visionary principles can be applied to any situation--from urban plots to country cottages.The book also highlights the cultural and ecological impact of these gardens, reinforcing the idea that timeless design principles can be a source of inspiration for creating environments that resonate with contemporary sensibilities. At once a twenty-first century appreciation of Pückler's genius, and a pictorial guide to holistic gardening, this book shows how any gardener can create a contemplative, environmentally sustainable, and harmonious space that will maintain its value for years to come.
