Cooper: The New Tech Garden

This book celebrates gardens in which man-made materials such as plastic, perspex, steel, glass and textiles have been used by a new generation of garden designers to create gardens more in keeping with contemporary design and lifestyles. Award-winning and controversial garden designer Paul Cooper has chosen the best examples of New Tech gardens from all over the world including kinetic gardens, portable gardens, multi-experience gardens for use in both day- and night-time, instant-assembly gardens, and radical gardens that overthrow convention.

The unique collection of controversial contemporary garden designs features private and public gardens from around the world, and the stunning photographs are complemented by garden plans

Before becoming a garden designer, author Paul Cooper was a successful sculptor - and it shows. One of today's most controversial designers for his use of unconventional materials and theatrical effects, Paul has won RHS gold, silver and bronze medals and best garden award at the Chelsea Flower Show. Commissions for Paul's work include those for the BBC2 TV series Gardens by Design and the BBC Gardener's World Live show. He regularly appears on TV and radio, while his garden designs have appeared in a number of magazines and newspapers. If you feel stuck in a gardening rut, try this book. It's bound to set you thinking about gardens and garden design in completely new ways.
