The Netherlands, a country renowned for its rich horticultural heritage, has long been a hub of innovative and progressive thinking in the world of gardens. This tradition is exemplified by iconic figures such as the landscape architect Mien Ruys and the naturalistic plant pioneer Piet Oudolf, who have left an indelible mark on the landscape. In their book, Noel Kingsbury and Maayke de Ridder delve into the unique characteristics of landscape, history, and culture in the Netherlands, exploring how these factors have shaped the distinctive gardens that characterize the country.
At the core of this story lies a people deeply connected to their surroundings. They take immense pride in the remarkable feats of engineering employed to reclaim land from the sea, as well as their unwavering passion for nature and biodiversity. This creative tension finds expression in the parks and gardens of the Netherlands, where a clean, pared-back aesthetic juxtaposes with billowing planting. Water is carefully managed and made accessible through the use of boardwalks, while meandering paths lead to inviting outbuildings for work and relaxation.
These inspiring examples of sustainable, modern, and livable outdoor spaces will resonate with forward-thinking garden makers across the globe. The Netherlands serves as a testament to the power of design to create spaces that not only enhance the beauty of the natural world but also promote a sense of well-being and harmony with our environment. By examining the particularities of landscape, history, and culture in the Netherlands, this book offers valuable insights and inspiration for those seeking to create their own outdoor havens that reflect the spirit of innovation and sustainability.
