Insightful vision into new perspective on planting
I do agree with other review that it is silly to put the photos in black and white, especially for prairies; any details in the photos is totally lost in monochrome. However, it is not a picture book but an excellent garden designer's perception of the world of gardening. With tales of plant hunting, personal experience with plants and an insight into a wilder more tolerant way of gardening wherein nature is accepted as an intrinsic part of a human's perspective of aesthetic. Great reading.

such a shame
This is a wonderfull book, it was a real labour of love. The "essay" is in fact an extended love letter to plants and wildlife, written by one who knows. The text is masterly. It is such a shame that this second edition (2010), published after the death of its author contains so many black and white photos. The first edition (2008) was entirely in colour, with many of the photos taken by Henk Gerritsen, many in close-up. A gardening book in grey-scale seems like a wasted opportunity!

Un libro favoloso

Stunning insights, observations, reflections and inspirations on gardening, biology, nature . Questioning the all too perfectly designed gardens and instead proposing a genuine approach. Although the book contains stunning photos, it definitely isn't a coffeetable book, but a real impulse for a (re-)new(-ed) relation between humans and gardens. Highly recommended.
