Description

Jens Jensen is considered one of America's greatest landscape designers and conservationists. This text draws on Jensen's writings and plans, interviews with people who knew him, and analyses of his projects, to present a portrayal of his efforts to enhance and preserve native landscapes. Using native plants and "fitting" designs, Jensen advocated that gardens, parks, roads, playgrounds and cities should be harmonious with nature and its ecological processes - a belief which was to become a major theme of modern American landscape design. This volume stresses the many valuable lessons that Jensen's legacy holds for modern conservationists.
