Gardens of the High Line: Elevating the Nature of Modern Landscapes, co-authored by Rick Darke and Piet Oudolf in collaboration with graphic designer Lorraine Ferguson, with introduction by Friends of the High Line co-founder Robert Hammond is now available in English, German and French language editions.

Here's an interview about the book and the High Line from NPR's Cultivating Place: Conversations on Natural History and the Human Impulse to Garden, produced by Sarah Bohannon and Jennifer Jewell

The Living Landscape: Designing for Beauty and Biodiversity in the Home Garden, a collaboration between Rick Darke and Doug Tallamy.

Darke has been working with Fallingwater's staff for over twenty years observing and photo-documenting the enveloping landscape of Bear Run. His February 2021 presentation uses decades of observing and exploring the synergy between the organic architecture of Fallingwater's landscape and the built architecture of the house. The image below links to the presentation.
