## Description

Gerritsen (1948-2008) started designing the Dutch Priona gardens in 1978. He is internationally well-known as the writer of the first Piet Oudolf books and as a designer of gardens in several countries. One of his best known projects was a complete renovation of the organic gardens at Waltham Place, near London. 'Essay on Gardening' however is not a game between well-matched opponents. Nature is much more powerful than man. Thinking ahead is not sufficient; nature is an unpredictable opponent, who may come forward with moves that no man could have foreseen. With a foreword by Piet Oudolf.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant Read !
*by S***Y on 4 December 2021*

Excellent, intelligently written book

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars
*by R***U on 21 November 2014*

One of the best gardening books ever

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Insightful vision into new perspective on planting
*by A***D on 9 August 2014*

I do agree with other review that it is silly to put the photos in black and white, especially for prairies; any details in the photos is totally lost in monochrome. However, it is not a picture book but an excellent garden designer's perception of the world of gardening. With tales of plant hunting, personal experience with plants and an insight into a wilder more tolerant way of gardening wherein nature is accepted as an intrinsic part of a human's perspective of aesthetic. Great reading.
