Drowning in flowers - with perceptive pictures and quirky texts
this award-winning book wants to plant in its readers a longing for
beauty, harmony, for the joy of recognition through knowledge.
Georg Grabherr, one of the most influential conservation
biologists, has created a domestic garden and incorporated key
biosphere reserve concepts. Over time, his garden has developed
into an ecological gem where the idea of "nature in the garden" has
been realised in exemplary manner. He guides us through the
phenological seasons that divide the year by the arrival of key
species, covers themes dear to the gardener's heart and engages in
a dialogue with nature, thoughtfully accepting and using what is
wild and spontaneous. He is asking whether the thousands of private
gardens can become a Noah's Ark, suitable for rescuing threatened
species. Award-winning photographer Lois Lammerhuber has captured
this amazing space throughout a whole gardening year and introduces
us to an unusual but convincing garden aesthetic.
