Tweetalig boek over de heemparken in Amstelveen. Met veel foto's en tekeningen.
The heem parks (parks that predominately feature native wild plants) De Braak, the K. Landwehrpark and, especially, the Jac. p. Thijsse Park in Amstelveen in the Netherlands, have been important sources of inspiration for landscape architects, gardeners, and nature lovers throughout the world since they were first laid out over 50 years ago. This new book looks at the extraordinary history of these parks and visions they reflect of the landscape architect Christiaan Broerse and his colleague, the botanist Koos Landwehr. The book is richly illustrated, with specially commissioned full-colour photographs by Jan Derwig and aerial photographs by Jan Schot. Also included are historical illustrations and sketches.
