About this book

Jens Jensen: Maker of Natural Parks and Gardens (Creating the North American Landscape) by Grese, Prof Robert E. E.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780801859472.

Jens Jensen was one of Americas greatest landscape designers and conservationists. Using native plants and "fitting" designs, he advocated that our gardens, parks, roads, playgrounds, and cities should be harmonious with nature and its ecological processes—a belief that was to become a major theme of modern American landscape design. In Jens Jensen: Maker of Natural Parks and Gardens, Robert E. Grese draws on Jensens writings and plans, interviews with people who knew him, and analyses of his projects to present a clear picture of Jensens efforts to enhance and preserve "native" landscapes.
