The Art of Fine Gardening: Craig Bergmann Landscape Design

About the Item

The long-awaited debut book on Craig Bergmann, pre-eminent designer of traditional gardens along the North Shore of Chicago For more than four decades, Craig Bergmann has been recognized for intertwining design, horticulture, and architecture, establishing a true dialogue between the garden and the architectural site. Revered as a plantsman, Bergmann layers his designs with vibrant blooms and textured foliage. The Art of Fine Gardening features twenty gardens that span his career and are located in the North Shore of Chicago. A special chapter is dedicated to the Gardens at 900, the historic estate designed by architect David Adler, that he developed and reimagined as a series of lush private garden rooms with hedges, towering topiary, perennial borders, and interspersed with classical figures and ornament. Featuring stunning garden images by noted photographer Scott Shigley and texts written by Bergmann, the book describes all the gardens in his own voice – a voice of true experience – offering anecdotes and practical tips to gardeners.
