The Gardens of Ulf Nordfjell (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781858947198)

The internationally renowned garden designer Ulf
Nordfjell has created many stunning and celebrated gardens and parks. He has
won numerous awards (including RHS Chelsea Gold Medals) for his gardens, which
combine the sweep and presence of masterful place-making with a keen
plantsman's eye for the detail that can be enjoyed through variety, combination,
and interest in color, texture, and movement.

The ten new projects
presented in this book - from an island garden in coastal Sweden to a Stockholm
town garden to a villa in the South of France - are more than just a selection
of beautiful gardens, however. They also provide the opportunity to consider
how parks and gardens are affected by a changing climate as well as the
changing seasons. The book takes the form of an incomparable garden journey
from northern Sweden to the Mediterranean, a journey that passes through many
latitudes and climate zones. The informative text gives an insight into the
ideas behind the design of estates, urban parks and domestic gardens. But
Nordfjell also grapples with the great question of our time: the changes in the
climate that will affect - that are already affecting - our parks and gardens
in the short and long term.
