Overview
Landscape architecture is a form of high art for Erik Dhont, who has brought both nuance and sensitivity to various sites. Playing with flowers, grasses, shrubs or trees, he creates unique spaces, structures and textures. His timeless green paradises which are the result of true craftsmanship, are deeply rooted in the European garden tradition. They stand for longevity, evolution, dreams, and life. In this second monograph, Dhont presents his creations from over the last twenty years, combining photographs with abstract drawings, colorful planting plans, and sculptural models that reflect on his artistic approach. Intimate views of seminal creations such as the garden of fashion designer Dries van Noten immerse one into Dhont's creative and sensual universe.

Reviews
Tracing twenty years of work by Belgian landscape designer Erik Dhont, this book offers an extremely varied diversity of gardens. At the bend of a grove or a lavender flowerbed, Erik Dhont's artistic work of nature is captured, which he organizes without subjecting him to his architect's compass. Beyond their elaborate aesthetics, these gardens are all the result of botanical reflection seeking to respect and enhance their ecosystem.--Camille Buonanno Architectural Digest
