We may be familiar with the gardens designers have created for
their clients, but what happens in their own backyards? This
fascinating book takes a peek at the gardens of some of the world's
most influential designers, investigating how they differ from
their commissioned work, the design process, and how they reflect
their owner's design philosophy. Private gardens are often places
for experimentation, either with untried plants, novel construction
techniques or innovative ways of handling space. Some designers use
their gardens as 'gallery spaces' - perfect representations of the
heart and soul of their work. Others may be radically different to
a designer's commissioned projects. That private gardens are the
site for experimentation, suggests that a peek through the garden
gate will be a privileged look into the future. Designers are under
less pressure in their own gardens and they are inevitably more
personal. The mask is sure to slip a little. We hope to see
something of the personality of the designer revealed, and perhaps
a sense of what they wish their clients would agree to, but don't
always dare... As well as discussing their influences and design
ethos, each designer will provide a garden plan, garden history
timeline and key plant list, as well as one great, under-utilised
idea. The international list of designers includes Piet Oudolf
(Netherlands), Ulf Nordfjell (Sweden), Isabelle Greene (USA), Juan
Grimm (Chile), and Tom Stuart-Smith (UK)
