Federal Twist is set on a ridge above the Delaware River in western
New Jersey, USA. It is a naturalistic garden that has loose
boundaries and integrates closely with the natural world that
surrounds it. It has no utilitarian or leisure uses (no play areas,
swimming pools or outdoor dining) and the site is not an obvious
choice for a garden (heavy clay soil, poorly drained: quick death
for any plants not ecologically suited to it). The physical garden,
its plants and its features, is of course an appealing and pleasant
place to be but Federal Twist's real charm and significance lie in
its intangible aspects: its changing qualities and views, the moods
and emotions it evokes, and its distinctive character and sense of
place. Monty Don commented after his visit, "it made me rethink
what a garden can be and do." This book charts the author's journey
in making such a garden. How he made a conscious decision not to
"improve the land", planted large, competitive plants into rough
grass, experimented with seeding to develop sustainable plant
communities. And how he worked with light to provoke certain moods
and allowed the energy of the place, chance and randomness to have
its say. Part experimental horticulturist and part philosopher,
James Golden has written an important book for naturalistic and
ecological gardeners and anyone interested in exploring the
relationship between gardens, nature and ourselves.
