One of Germany's most lauded landscape designers shares his own journey of discovery to show how anyone can create a timeless and sustainable garden for themselves.

In this visually exciting and highly personal book, acclaimed garden designer Peter Berg tells readers how a chance encounter with a scholar of the work of Count Hermann von Pu¨ckler-Muskau-a famed nineteenth century landscape designer-provided him with the inspiration he needed to pursue his own stellar career.

First Berg introduces Pu¨ckler's guiding principles and offers examples of how Pu¨ckler's gardens have remained lasting monuments to aesthetic unity, composition, and adaptation to their natural surroundings. Then Berg leads a tour of ten of his own exquisite garden designs. Berg shows today's gardeners how Pu¨ckler's visionary principles can be applied to any situation-from urban plots to country cottages.

The book also highlights the cultural and ecological impact of these gardens, reinforcing the idea that timeless design principles can be a source of inspiration for creating environments that resonate with contemporary sensibilities. At once a twenty-first century appreciation of Pu¨ckler's genius, and a pictorial guide to holistic gardening, this book shows how any gardener can create a contemplative, environmentally sustainable, and harmonious space that will maintain its value for years to come.
