Garden design & planning

A month-by-month tour of the renowned naturalistic garden designer Jacqueline van der Kloet's home garden-a visual feast of perennials, trees, grasses, shrubs, and bulbs that have inspired a generation of gardeners and designers.

From a pioneer of the New Perennial movement, My Garden showcases the practice and process behind Jaqueline van der Kloet's leading-edge, naturalistic planting experimentations, rooted in

her site of experimentation for the past forty years: her home garden. Jacqueline has established a design process emphasizing naturalized bulbs and other plants that intermingle in every month of the year, supporting biodiversity and embracing the natural tendencies of plants.

With an elegance admired the world over, each corner of van der Kloet's garden reflects an important aspect of her creative process, sharing down-to-earth wisdom from her own little piece of paradise. Enter into this stunning, innovative garden and discover:

Visionary techniques and methods for tending and cultivating a natural garden, training one's focus to shift along with the seasons

Lists of Jaqueline's favorite plants by color, with insight on inspiring and unexpected combinations

Snapshots of specific spots in her garden, documenting the subtle shifts in each plant as it traverses the seasons' rhythms

A glimpse into the conceptual frameworks for many of her international projects

Inspiration for your home garden, with ideas for maintaining interest throughout every season, even in the cold and snow

Reviews for My Garden: A Year of Design and Experimentation

""A beautiful book by a talented bulb specialist for gardeners who would like to accompany an expert in her garden or incorporate spring and summer-flowering bulbs in their gardens."" --Library Journal ""I have been fortunate to meet many people whose knowledge and actions are creating gardens that have transformed my way of understanding, people who question what and how we do something. It is the most forward-thinking visionaries who always seek to evolve their way of thinking and seeing. Jacqueline van der Kloet is one of these visionaries."" --Roy Diblik, author of The Know Maintenance Perennial Garden
