His gardens have appeared in many publications, including Gardens Illustrated and The Sunday Telegraph, and together with Piet Oudolf, he won the prestigious Best Garden Award for his Gardens Illustrated 'Evolution' Garden at the 2000 Chelsea Flower Show.
Arne Maynard believes that achieving balance is the key to garden design and in A Sense of Place he shows you how to open your imagination and create a garden that will enrich your life and the place where you live.
Arne explains the backbone and the foundation blocks of design, how to find inspiration and how to improve upon what is already in place in your garden.
With a focus on plants which create different moods and atmospheres, all can be seen in the series of case studies which include The Wetlands Centre (the London site of the Wildlife and Wetlands Trust) and his own five acres in Lincolnshire.
Consumer review about A Sense of Place: How to Create a Garden with Atmosphere (Conran Octopus Gardening) :
If you are at all interested in how to remake the modern garden without throwing away all that's good about traditional garden spaces, this is for you. The pictures are completely inspiring. Arne Maynard is a sometime collaborator of Piet Oudolf and it's probably just because he tends to work for private clients that his work isn't better known and respected. He has a wonderful attitude towards nature, designing log piles which look simple and disorganised until you realise they are part of a larger Andy Goldsworthy-type scheme. And his prairie plantings with grasses are terrific. Treat yourself to this book, it's much better than a lot of the other stuff out there.(Read more)
