You are slowed down, and you become more observant of the world around you, and your place within the ecosystem of life. Discover more about gardening in The Avant Gardens by John Tebbs.
    The home of gardener and writer Christopher Lloyd, Great Dixter was a test bed and inspiration for his life’s work in the garden. Fergus Garrett continues the story of experimentation and education in this ever-evolving garden.
    The gardens at Flamingo Estate have inspired a whole new business venture, focused on the bounty of mother nature’s produce. Learn more about this garden in The Avant Garden by John Tebbs.
    El Nido de Quetzalcóatl (or Quetzalcóatl’s Nest) is the creation of architect Javier Senosiain, one of the first organic architects in Mexico. Organic architecture was a term first coined by Frank Lloyd Wright, with the idea of integrating the built environment into nature, or vice versa. This incredible garden is featured in The Avant Gardens, by John Tebbs and gestalten.
    High in the Black Mountains of the Brecon Beacons National Park in Wales lies Nant-y-Bedd: a garden amongst the trees of a thick conifer woodland. The surrounding nature inspires—and is welcomed into—the garden. Find more about this amazing garden in The Avant Gardens by John Tebbs.

    The creation of writer Vita Sackville-West and her diplomat husband Harold Nicholson, Sissinghurst is one of those cult gardens that lives in the imagination as much as it does in the real world. Dive into the stories behind this garden in The Avant Gardens by John Tebbs.
    When Hauser and Wirth opened a gallery at Dursdale Farm in rural Somerset, it seemed only fitting that Piet Oudolf—the master of sculptural, painterly planting—was asked to be involved. Discover more about Oudolf Field in The Avant Gardens by gestalten and John Tebbs.
    The architecture of this house provides a great framework for the voluptuous planting that spills out at every turn of the garden. Dixter is a garden of contrasts—Lloyd’s playful relationship with color saw him abandon conventions of good taste. The garden became one of the most written-about spaces of the 20th century, thanks to Lloyd’s almost 50 years of writing. This horticultural hotbed is featured in The Avant Gardens by John Tebb.
    El Nido de Quetzalcóatl (or Quetzalcóatl’s Nest) connects to Senosiain’s vision of “Bio-Architecture,” which places the focus on using materials and techniques that provide the best results in terms of energy and resource consumption. It also aims to reduce the amount of pollution generated during construction, and even during the production of the construction materials. The ecological impact of every phase of development is considered.
    El Nido de QuetzalcĂłatl is a magical creation just 15 miles (24 kilometers) from central Mexico City which highlights what is possible if we follow paths beyond the familiar, and engage with the kaleidoscope of inspiration offered to us by the natural world. This incredible project is featured in The Avant Gardens by John Tebbs and gestalten.
    Snaking its way through the site, El Nido de QuetzalcĂłatl is named after the feathered serpent of ancient Mexican lore. It is manifested in modern materials of ferro-cement and thousands of mosaic pieces, giving it an iridescent and multicolored presence in the landscape.
