The latest trend in contemporary gardening revolves around embracing the wilderness, creatively designing landscapes with native plants to enhance their surroundings and seamlessly blend with the natural environment. With a gentle rejection of traditional manicured, hedged, and pruned gardening aesthetics, this movement invites an alternative kind of beauty: a vibrant explosion of indigenous plants, towering old-growth trees, colorful patches of wildflowers, perennials, succulents, un-pruned bushes, and ornamental grasses. A notable example of this landscaping approach is the Highline in New York City, which is gaining popularity among private homeowners. This book showcases twelve breathtaking gardens, captured by award-winning photographer Andre Baranowski, ranging from small private residences to large properties designed by renowned landscapers such as Oehme van Sweden, Fernando Caruncho, Jorge Sanchez, and Piet Oudolf. The texts provide detailed insights into each project's approach and the challenges faced by the landscape, offering valuable instructional ideas from an insider's perspective. Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just starting your green thumb journey, this book is a limitless source of inspiration and will be cherished by garden enthusiasts around the world.
