Summary:
Planting, by landscape architects Piet Oudolf and Noel Kingsbury, is a groundbreaking moment in horticulture. It is the first book to share Oudolf's original planting plans and plant groupings and the only book to explicitly show how his gardens and landscapes are made. An intimate knowledge of plants is essential to the success of this approach and Planting makes Oudolf's considerable understanding of plant ecology and performance accessible, explaining how plants behave in different situations, what goes on underground, and which species make good neighbors. Extensive plant charts and planting plans will help you choose plants for their structure, color, and texture as well as the way they perform in the landscape. A detailed directory, with details each plant's life expectancy, the persistence of its seedheads, its tendency to spread, and propensity to self-seed, is an invaluable resource.Planting is an essential resource for designers and gardeners looking to create plant-rich, beautiful gardens that support biodiversity and nourish the human spirit.

Summary:
Hermann von Pückler-Muskau (1785-1871), prince quelque peu excentrique — son ami, le poète Heinrich Heine, le nommait « le plus fashionable de tous les originaux » — est surtout connu pour ses créations paysagères. L'Allemagne lui doit deux de ses plus beaux parcs à grande échelle : celui de Branitz dans le Brandebourg, et celui de Muskau en Saxe, aujourd’hui classé au patrimoine mondial de l’Unesco. Encouragé par sa rencontre à Weimar avec Goethe en 1810 à persévérer dans l’art paysager, ce « prince parcomane » se forgea au fil de ses lectures et de ses visites de parcs, particulièrement en Angleterre, une esthétique toute personnelle qu’il consigna en 1834 dans ses Aperçus sur l’art du jardin paysager. D’une importance majeure dans l’histoire de ce style, cet ouvrage, affranchi de l’influence anglaise, contribua au rayonnement de son auteur auprès des princes Charles et Guillaume de Prusse (futur empereur) ainsi qu’au-delà des frontières allemandes — notamment en France, où son autorité en matière de jardins fut reconnue par Louis-Philippe et par Napoléon III.

Summary:
It is an often heard cliché that the world is getting smaller. No. 235 / Encyclopaedia of an allotment rather proves the opposite. With a meticulous photographic study, Anne Geene gives us an insight into the surprising wealth of flora and fauna in an allotment garden of one of the Netherlands most urbanized areas. Hundreds of plant and animal species, remarkable behaviour and particular observations are represented with appropriate photographic techniques varying from saltprinting to microphotography. No. 235 / encyclopaedia of an allotment is inspired by science but has no scientific pretentions whatsoever. Although her observations are completely personal, they are selected and captured with the precision of a scientist and with a similar attention to detail. The book aims to be a complete visual representation of everything that grows, blossoms, swims, crawls and flies in the exact 245 square meters of allotment nr. 235 of garden complex 'eigen hof' in Rotterdam.
