- Summary:
- Twenty years after his last monograph, Erik Dhont unveils another collection of landscape creations in a new book. Whether developed for private residences, semi-public sites, or public spaces, his landscape projects explore the countless ways in which humanity can redesign nature. Gardens take us on journeys, and this book transports its readers all over the world: From a camellia walk in Walloon Brabant to a lush grotto of rock plants overlooking the sea on the Côte d'Azur to blossoming fruit trees and striking topiary on the shores of Lake Leman--and from bromeliads, agaves, and agapanthus in the Azores to evergreen oaks in California. As Dhont's gardens are seldom accessible to the public, this book is a rare opportunity to enter these earthly arcadias.
