As early as the 18th century, the German garden theorist Christian C. Lorenz Hirschfeld recommended changing the garden from closed to open, from light to dark or from wild to delicate. English landscape gardeners also advised gardening with nature and not against it. Design principles that we still use today to green our cities and gardens: light, airy, romantic and picturesque, simply natural. A skillful symbiosis of art and nature that highlights the charms of the landscape. This is how fascinating the English landscape garden is. Last but not least, this evening will focus on the design and characteristics of the English garden using the example of the area in Benrath Palace Park.
Enjoy a fascinating garden world and picturesque views with the help of atmospheric illustrated panels and entertaining intermezzi. The author will give you a refreshingly honest insight into her voluntary work in the parks of Wörlitz and Branitz (Fürst Pückler Park) as well as the process from the book idea to writing and publication.
