Jardins contemporains

Produced in collaboration with an international team of horticultural experts, this book presents 300 exceptional gardens created since the late 1990s in more than forty countries, from green roofs to wild meadows. Each garden is introduced in a detailed text that places it in the context of its creator's work and oeuvre.

This extensive selection includes the work of renowned garden designers and landscape architects such as Fiona Brockhoff, Dan Pearson, Sarah Price and Bernard Trainor, as well as projects by rising stars and owner-designers. It includes iconic public gardens such as the High Line and Changi Airport Garden, as well as private gems, including Umberto Pasti's hillside garden in Morocco and Anna Wintour's elegant garden in upstate New York, created by Miranda Brooks.

Listed alphabetically by designer or studio name, this book reveals a wide range of contemporary garden styles—naturalistic, community, wild, urban, botanical, dry, topiary, minimalist, edible, floral, and more—demonstrating how our ever-evolving stylistic and horticultural aesthetics are fostering an increasingly strong connection to the natural world.
