Detailed information

Product detailed description

The Avant Gardens - Gestalten & John Tebbs

The idea of what a garden should look like is undergoing a fundamental transformation. The tradition of strictly arranged beds and mown lawns is giving way to the search for new forms of coexistence with both wild and cultivated nature. The publication The Avant Gardens blurs the boundaries between landscape design, fine art and ecology. It presents a selection of visionary garden projects that respond to climate change, biodiversity loss and the specifics of local environments. It shows that a modern garden can function as an experimental space, an expression of individual authorship and a fully functional ecosystem that restores the natural balance in both urban and rural landscapes.
