Piet Blanckaert, one of Belgium's most important landscape architects, brings more than forty years of experience and a love of gardens to his work. Inspired by the great English landscape architects, his repertoire ranges from the walled gardens of his hometown of Bruges to magically structured landscape ensembles. With an introductory essay on his working methods, this book presents Blanckaert's gardens from the Baltic to the Mediterranean, from the earliest to the most recent, captured in fantastic photographs by Jean-Pierre Gabriel in every season. PIET BLANCKAERT (*1955) is a landscape architect and has run his own independent studio, Piet Blanckaert Landscape Design, in Bruges since 1979. His commissions include private gardens, the design of open spaces around hotels and industrial facilities, as well as sculpture gardens in Belgium, France, Spain, Austria, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and Greece.
