The Scandinavian Garden by Karl-Dietrich Bã¼hler

The Scandinavian Garden by Karl-Dietrich Bã¼hler

Scandinavian landscape and garden design is original, sophisticated and poetic. Powerfully architectural, with an emphasis on geometry and sculpture, it is an evocative and romantic tradition. The Scandinavian enthusiasm for outdoor living, making the most of the endless summer daylight hours, has meant that garden designers are particularly innovative in treating gardens as outdoor rooms or extensions of the house . Karl-Dietrich Bü hler has an unrivalled knowledge of, and enthusiasm for, the gardens of Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland. This book focuses on the best gardens of the region, both the small jewels produced by amateur gardeners and the gardens designed by world-famous landscape architects such as Carl Theodor Sø rensen and Andreas Bruun. With the aid of full-colour photographs and plans, he describes elegant town gardens, and country, woodland and coastal gardens that are carefully designed into their landscapes.

The gardens of Scandinavia have a poetry and magic all of their own, exquisitely captured by Karl-Dietrich Buhler's photographs and essays Homes & Gardens This is a book you can happily read from cover to cover or dip intoEither way, you will be inspired. Karl-Deitrich Buhler conveys the detail and essence of each garden in his informed text, while the wonderful photographs capture the spirit of Scandinavia and the unique qualities of the northern light Gardens Illustrated A charming and often enigmatic glimpse at landscape and garden design in Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland Lady
