Renowned for his dynamic blend of Swedish modernism and English romanticism, Ulf Nordfjell is one of the world's leading contemporary garden designers. This is the first book in English about his work. A master of composing with perennials, grass, and bulbs, Nordfjell also has a deep engagement with the landscapes that surround his gardens. Materials such as Swedish granite, steel, and timber give his gardens structure and a powerful identity, animated by water and light. Every detail of his composition is meticulously worked out, and the gardens reveal new aspects through the seasons. This book covers 14 of Nordfjell's gardens, including his 2009 Best in Show and 2007 Gold Medal gardens at Chelsea. Accompanying Ulf Nordfjell's thoughtful and lucid text are Jerry Harpur's superb photographs, which were taken over several years and represent the gardens in all seasons in both general views and details.
