Noel KingsburyLIBRE: Le Jardin Naturaliste

An in-depth study of contemporary naturalistic gardens through 40 outstanding locations

Prolific author and landscape consultant Noel Kingsbury has produced a comprehensive and detailed study of naturalistic gardens around the world. From a perennial meadow in Somerset, England, to a drought-tolerant garden in Australia, Libre presents the work of both leading and lesser-known gardeners. Each garden is introduced by an enlightening text and illustrated with the superb photographs of renowned photographer Claire Takacs.

Far from the polished and impersonal gardens of the past, the gardens presented in Libre are part of a new naturalist and spontaneous approach to gardening, reflecting the shift towards a more sustainable activity and the current trends in garden design.
