39 Garden Plans

This English edition of the classic 39 Garden Plans (1966) by renowned Danish garden and landscape architect C. Th. Sørensen presents a series of exceptional examples of garden architecture. Simplicity, originality, love, and expertise are characteristics that apply to the gardens in this volume. Every garden plan is based on an idea, an inspiration that is depicted along with the plan. The example could be a farm garden or a park at a castle, a greenhouse complex or a Renaissance parterre. But the idea is the same all the time: the idea must be realisable within the grounds of an ordinary house. 39 Garden Plans is thus a catalogue of the (spatial) possibilities of garden art.
