5.0 out of 5 stars The most inspirational landscape design book ever., 10 Jul 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Bold Romantic Gardens (Hardcover)

From the fabulous clear photographs of Van Sweden and Oeheme's work, to the intricate details of how a kerb detail works, this book will inspire and delight. Unlike so many generic garden design books that attempt to list a collection of concepts, this book shows a fusion of well disciplined hard landscaping with a free form of grasses and other naturalistic planting. No other designers manage to combine the two so effortlessly. This book works as both an escape from the reality of ones own garden to a genuine reference work. Internationally acknowledeged as the leaders of the modern natural style of landscape this book fuses clear large format pictures with plan details, sectional elevations and a plant reference section. Both Northern European and American garden designers as well as many keen gardens rely on this book for a constant source of inspiration.

4.0 out of 5 stars Stateside grasses blowing in the wind..., 31 Dec 2000

By A Customer

This is perhaps one of Spacemaker Press's best efforts - publication going softback in 1998 a bonus. O&V's writing, enhanced by the always challenging Ms Rademacher, project what is evident in their gardens/landscapes - confidence, vision and perfectionism in execution.

The gardens, indeed, look natural, yet are a result of meticulous research by an exemplary multidisciplinary practice. The format itself, is perhaps one of the book's greatest achievements - comfortable at the coffee table, useful by the drawing board... This volume stands out for three main reasons: the superiority of the work itself, the crisp writing/editing, and the outstanding photography...

5.0 out of 5 stars DITTO! DITTO! DITTO!, 6 Jan 1999

By A Customer

I am absolutely positive that you cannot go wrong with this book, or any other by these two incredible designers. With an emphasis on ornamental grasses and very "naturalistic" design styles that are beautiful year round, you'll have a hard time putting this one down. Photographs are absolutely beautiful!! You will definitely not be dissapointed!!!
