Book Overview
Federal Twist is a naturalistic garden with a difference. Set in a clearing in the woods in western New Jersey, it is a triumph of ecological planting and fearless design. But what makes it remarkable is its emotional power: the way the light falls to provoke certain moods, the energy of the place, and how it allows space for dreaming, thinking and being. Part experimental horticulturist and part philosopher, James Golden describes how he listened to the site, made a conscious decision not to improve the land, planted large, competitive plants into rough grass, and watched and waited as sustainable plant communities emerged. This is an important book for naturalistic and ecological gardeners and anyone interested in exploring the relationship between gardens, nature and themselves. Book jacket.
