An exploration of the balance between the hand of the gardener and the power of nature in the New York Botanical Garden landscape

The world-renowned New York Botanical Garden is a 250-acre multifaceted cultural destination situated in the heart of the Bronx. NYBG’s natural features – rolling hills punctuated by rock outcroppings, an old-growth forest, the dramatic gorge of the Bronx River – were incorporated into its original design and have been celebrated throughout its 130-year history, creating a tapestry of gardens and plant collections that blend seamlessly with the incredible landscape.

Today, NYBG embodies the principles of sustainable horticulture, and Gardening with Nature demonstrates their application. This richly illustrated new book highlights seven distinct horticultural environments captured by photographer Larry Lederman. Through his lush images, readers will witness the process of decay and regeneration in the Thain Family Forest, the carpet of millions of naturalized daffodils on Daffodil Hill, the vibrant azaleas emerging from rocky outcrops and sheltered by majestic trees, the recently installed Native Plant Garden, and more. Featuring authoritative text by Todd A. Forrest – complemented by historic images and Lederman’s contemporary photographs – Gardening with Nature offers a model for professional and home gardeners alike, encouraging and inspiring readers to adopt sustainable, nature-based processes and techniques.

Una exploración del equilibrio entre la mano del jardinero y el poder de la naturaleza en el paisaje del Jardín Botánico de Nueva York

El mundialmente famoso Jardín Botánico de Nueva York es un destino cultural multifacético de 250 acres situado en el corazón del Bronx. Las características naturales del NYBG (colinas onduladas salpicadas de afloramientos rocosos, un bosque antiguo, el espectacular desfiladero del río Bronx) se incorporaron a su diseño original y se han celebrado a lo largo de sus 130 años de historia, creando un tapiz de jardines y colecciones de plantas que se combinan a la perfección con el increíble paisaje.

Hoy, NYBG encarna los principios de la horticultura sostenible, y Gardening with Nature demuestra su aplicación. Este nuevo libro profusamente ilustrado destaca siete entornos hortícolas distintos capturados por el fotógrafo Larry Lederman. A través de sus exuberantes imágenes, los lectores serán testigos del proceso de descomposición y regeneración en el Bosque de la Familia Thain, la alfombra de millones de narcisos naturalizados en Daffodil Hill, las vibrantes azaleas que emergen de los afloramientos rocosos y están protegidas por árboles majestuosos, el Jardín de Plantas Nativas recientemente instalado y más. Con un texto autorizado de Todd A. Forrest, complementado con imágenes históricas y fotografías contemporáneas de Lederman, Gardening with Nature ofrece un modelo para jardineros profesionales y domésticos por igual, alentando e inspirando a los lectores a adoptar procesos y técnicas sostenibles basados ??en la naturaleza.
