Jens Jensen

Jens Jensen was one of America''s 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 Jensen''s writings and plans interviews with people who knew him and analyses of his projects to present a clear picture of Jensen''s efforts to enhance and preserve native landscapes.
