The renowned Chilean landscape architect on responding to topography, his passion for evergreens, and why herbaceous perennials are overrated
“My landscapes look natural, but they are composed,” Juan begins. Having been to Chile and seen a number of his designs, I can certainly concur. But this summary seems a little too simple. A typical Juan Grimm garden (most of his work is in the private sphere) consists of native shrub plantings that subtly direct the visitor through a variety of spaces that respond delicately to the surrounding topography. As well as this underlying poise there is a dynamism about the plantings that imbues his work with great expressive power – and I want to know how he does it.
