Following training as an architect and landscape architect in the United States and the Netherlands, James van Sweden's early practice led to a 1977 partnership with landscape architect and horticulturist Wolfgang Oehme. A revolutionary garden style quickly emerged and continues to flourish.
Mr. van Sweden's designs draw attention first to dramatic spectacles of informal planting and then to the practical beauty of architectural bones that anchor his gardens to the ground. The garden's underlying architecture is the subject of this book.
By revealing the secrets of his unusual design approach, Mr. van Sweden's recent books, Gardening with Water and Gardening with Nature, have inspired professional and amateur gardeners alike. His first book, Bold Romantic Gardens, co-authored with Mr. Oehme, is also considered a classic in the field.
Mr. van Sweden is a Fellow of the American Society of Landscape Architects and recipient of many distinguished awards. His works are published widely in gardening books and periodicals, and he is a frequent guest on television and radio shows. He lives in Washington, D.C.
