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.
