I am now informed, and rather excited, having read about the beautiful places that lie across the water from where I live in Essex.

I had worked at Oehme, van Sweden for almost a decade and since Jim spent so much time in the Netherlands and Wolfgang was so close with Karl Foerster, it's interesting to see their European influences being translated into what they called the "New American Garden" in the 1970s and 80s. When it comes to the garden, there's very little that is uniquely American. This rich design history deserves a proper chronicler.

I've always loved Mien Ruys' garden designs, even if I've unfortunately only seen them in photos and books - it really is time for me to travel more in Europe again. I wrote about one of Mien Ruys' books a while ago, the pictures in her book from the 1950s could just as well be from any book from our time: <br />http://intercontinentalgardener.blogspot.com/2009/10/book-by-mien-ruys-mother-of-new.html <br />Thank you for sharing this excellent article, I wasn't aware of Groei & Bloei either, but will check it out now.The Intercontinental Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03419730672738553254noreply@blogger.com
