Gardens Under Big Skies by Noel Kingsbury
Noel Kingsbury and Maayke de Ridder explores how landscape, history and culture in the Netherlands have given rise to distinctive gardens and public spaces and demonstrates how a new generation of Dutch designers are reimagining outdoor space in such an revolutionary way.
