The Dynamic Landscape by Nigel Dunnett

The Dynamic Landscape by Nigel Dunnett

This new edition features fully revised chapters, new additions and enhanced visual features. The Dynamic Landscape advances a fusion of scientific and ecological planning design philosophy that addresses the need for more sustainable designed landscapes.

“The Dynamic Landscape was a transformative book for me, introducing an entire world of ecological horticulture that profoundly shaped my thinkingIt broke down the silos between landscape architecture, horticulture, and ecology, revealing how their integration can lead to innovative design approaches. This re-issue promises even more practical insights, drawing on 20 years of hands-on experience from the world’s leading practitioners.”

Thomas Rainer, designer, co-author of Planting in a Post-Wild World

“Rarely do we recognise the value of answers, no matter how brilliant, to questions we’re yet to ask. The first edition of The Dynamic Landscape was way ahead of its time, but to some extent gardeners and design practitioners have begun to catch up, and ask the questions that this remarkable book so presciently answered. This new edition casts the thinking even further into the future, and draws us - almost prophetically - into a widespread adoption of its hope-instilling insights.”

Michael McCoy, garden designer and writer/host of ABC TV series Dream Gardens

“I particularly appreciate the great impetus that the book can provide for planting designers and landscape architects to think conceptionally and to realize a new urban vegetation of the future. There is currently no other book that answers these important questions of plant use and urban vegetation planning in such a well-founded and application-orientated way while remaining easy to read and understand. A must for every professional but also for interested laymen.”

Cassian Schmidt, landscape designer, author, professor, and director of Hermannshof botanical garden
