He haswon numerous awards (including RHS Chelsea Gold Medals) for his gardens, whichcombine the sweep and presence of masterful place-making with a keenplantsman's eye for the detail that can be enjoyed through variety, combination,and interest in color, texture, and movement. The ten new projectspresented in this book - from an island garden in coastal Sweden to a Stockholmtown garden to a villa in the South of France - are more than just a selectionof beautiful gardens, however. They also provide the opportunity to considerhow parks and gardens are affected by a changing climate as well as thechanging seasons.

The informative text gives an insight into theideas behind the design of estates, urban parks and domestic gardens. ButNordfjell also grapples with the great question of our time: the changes in theclimate that will affect - that are already affecting - our parks and gardensin the short and long term.
