The Art of Fine Gardening

The long-awaited debut book on Craig Bergmann, pre-eminent designer of traditional gardens along the North Shore of Chicago

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

For more than four decades, Craig Bergmann has been recognised for intertwining design, horticulture, and architecture, establishing a true dialogue between the garden and the architectural site. Revered as a plantsman, Bergmann layers his designs with colourful blooms and textured foliage.

Epitomising his approach, The Gardens at 900 — his residence, studio, and shop in Lake Forest — was originally designed for the Armour family in 1917 and was reimagined by Bergmann as a series of lush private garden rooms with hedges, towering topiary, and perennial borders, interspersed with classical figures and ornament.

The most amazing service and selection of books. Had exactly what I was after and thought after ordering it late would take a couple of days but was here the next morning. Wouldn't hesitate to use again.
