Trädgård närmare naturen: Arts and Crafts och en vildare trädgård is an inspirational book for anyone who wants a garden that is both beautiful and enjoyable, but which is also climate-smart and protects insects and other garden life. A garden that is a place for creativity, desire and relaxation.
The book begins in the late 19th century when the Arts & Crafts movement was emerging in England and it ends in today's increasingly popular trend of a wilder and more natural garden, with garden designers such as Piet Oudolf leading the way through The New Perennial Movement. Then as now, the garden in the center is wild and beautiful. Beauty and sustainability go hand in hand both in today's gardens and in those created in the Arts & Crafts spirit more than a century ago. In the book, the author visits a variety of gardens, both newer and older, and meets enthusiasts who contribute their thoughts on how to create a garden closer to nature. The book is richly illustrated with freshly taken pictures, illustrations, patterns and contains a large amount of creative tips, advice and plant lists. Some of Sweden's most beautiful gardens where the spirit of the Arts and Crafts movement lives on in various ways are depicted in the book, such as: The English Garden, Drömparken in Enköping, Ellen Key's Strand, Erke's garden, Eva and Olle Björkström's garden, Fredriksdal museums and gardens, Hildasholm, Lilla Hyttnäs, Norrvikens gardens, Overdam's nursery school and display gardens, Rebecca Malmösköld & Staffan Eklund's Arts and Crafts garden, Sofiero castle garden, Tjolöholm castle, Ulriksdal garden, Ulla Molin's garden, Vargaslätten and Gerbianska garden.
