“Eden Reconsidered” A Passionate Appreciation of the Brine Garden

May 25, 2009 by Duncan Brine 1 Comment

“Eden Reconsidered”
A Passionate Appreciation of the Brine Garden
by Marilyn Bethany

At once naturalistic and theatrical, Brine’s garden challenges every assumption.  A knowledgeable plantsman who teaches off-season at the New York Botanical Garden, he confidently tosses together commonplace natives with rare and exquisite exotics, mass plantings with specimens, fine tuning each close-up but always with an eye to the big picture.  His garden has no apparent edges: it flows, not so much from “room-to-room,” as we’ve been taught a garden should, but from atmospheric eco-system to eco-system. If this is theatre, it is in the round, not trapped inside a proscenium arch.  At every turn, there’s a surprise, yet, in the end, it all seems inevitable, as if Brine got permission to bend nature to his whim.

All good gardens are instructive.  This one?  It will blow your mind.

Juicy New Book: Scott Calhoun’s Designer Plant Combinations

September 12, 2008 by Duncan Brine Leave a Comment

  • Hot Off the Press: Designer Plant Combinations

    • Awarded, accomplished, and colorful author,  Scott Calhoun traveled the country searching for the freshest, most exciting plant groupings. He visited the gardens of top designers from coast to coast and chose more than 100 combinations to include in his photographic celebration. Riots of complementary colors, masses of grasses, foliage spectacles in extraordinary shades of green and purple, and height variations as arresting as city skylines are all featured in these exciting gardens, each one an intimate self-contained glimpse of a larger garden.

    • There are ten pages of images and text on the Brine Garden in this far-ranging, stimulating, and inspirational book.
