Stephen Anderton Reihenfolge der Bücher (Chronologisch)

Ein einmaliger und profunder Überblick über die Geschichte der großen Gartengestalter aus Sicht deren persönlichen Lebens und Wirkens. Gartenanlagen und Parks werden von Menschen gestaltet, die nicht nur den Zeitgeist vertreten, sondern vor allem aus ganz persönlichen Gründen dem Thema Garten ihre Handschrift verleihen wollen. Doch wer sind diese Gestalter, die hinter den geschaffenen Werken stehen, die uns heute noch beeindrucken? Unser Buch zeigt, wie aus ganz unterschiedlichen Lebenshintergründen kulturelle Meisterwerke wie Versailles, Wörlitz, der berühmte englische Landschaftsgarten von Stourhead oder der New Yorker Central- und der High-Line-Park entstanden. Die Spanne ist groß und reicht von adeligen Amateurgärtnern über innovative Gärtner und Pflanzenliebhaber, professionell ausgebildete Designer bis zu Malern, Bildhauern und Architekten. Wir erhalten einen Einblick in das Leben und Wirken von 40 berühmten Gestaltern aus 13 Ländern und 5 Jahrhunderten, wie William Kent, André Le Nôtre, Edwin Lutyens, Gertrude Jekyll, Roy Strong, Christopher Bradley-Hole, Roberto Burle Marx, James van Sweden, Piet Oudolf und vielen anderen mehr. Ausstattung: Mit ca. 230 farbigen Abbildungen

Christopher Lloyd (Christo) was a preeminent English gardener of the twentieth century, renowned for his creation of the garden at Great Dixter in East Sussex. Following his death in 2006, the Heritage Lottery Fund granted GBP4 million to preserve this remarkable site. This biography serves as both a tribute to Christo and a unique history of Dixter from 1910 to 2006, chronicling the life of one house and garden over a century. Christo's father, Nathaniel, purchased the medieval manor and enlisted the Edwardian architect Lutyens to redesign it, while his mother, Daisy, initiated the first wild garden in the meadows. Born at Dixter in 1921, Christo spent most of his life there, continually enhancing the garden and producing influential books and journalism. Known for his strong opinions and eccentricity, he revolutionized English gardening with his love for meadow gardening, vibrant colors, and meticulous care. As the youngest of six children, he felt constrained by his devoted mother. Averse to sports but passionate about music, he learned plant Latin names before turning eight. This engaging account delves into Christo’s character through his relationships with his complex mother, fellow gardeners like Anna Pavord and Beth Chatto, and his head gardener, Fergus Garrett.
