Scandinavian Gardens
Features 26 of Scandinavia's most beautiful gardens, both classic and contemporary.
This sumptuous book gathers together 26 of the best gardens in Scandinavia, both grand and intimate, traditional and modern. It features gardens made by acclaimed designers and gardens that are well-known and open to the public. Most importantly, they are owned and tended by passionate gardeners, from the smallest private gardens to grand palace gardens.
Drawing on gardens from Sweden, Denmark, and Norway, they have all appeared in the leading Swedish garden magazine: Trรคdgรฅrdsliv ('Garden life' in Swedish). The gardens chosen are a mix of historic and contemporary styles, giving a great overview of different styles and traditions.
Interspersed between the chapters on individual gardens are features on specific themes in Scandinavian garden design, for example, Carl Linnaeus and the Scandinavian allotment movement.
The author, Klas Kihlberg, founded Trรคdgรฅrdsliv in 2007, and since then, it has featured hundreds of gardens from all over the world, but mostly Scandinavia. The different traditions, landscape, and climate of Scandinavia make its gardens distinctive yet a source of inspiration for gardeners worldwide.
