We’d be delighted to take the time to share our philosophy on garden design or tell you about the new projects featured in the book. Whether it’s with garden designer Peter Berg, his daughter Mirjam Schuth on the planning team, or our partners Paul Heidt, Daniel Pässler and Tim Vennemann handling the practical design – we look forward to seeing you.

The Beth Chatto Symposium is usually held every two years at the University of Essex. The event offers an international perspective on current topics in the fields of garden design, ecology and landscape architecture. Unfortunately, Peter Berg was unable to attend this year; his daughter, Mirjam Schuth, attended the symposium on his behalf.

Alongside the excellent presentations by Fergus Garrett, Helen Hoyle, Kelly D. Norris, Kasey Toomey and Darryl Moore, it was wonderful to exchange ideas in person. Whether in conversation with the Dutch garden designer Nico and Jurre Wissing or in the workshop with Peter Korn and Sheila Das, it became clear that, no matter where we work, we are all concerned with the same issues and goals. Beth Chatto’s principle proved true: ‘RIGHT plant – RIGHT place’. Ultimately, it is the location that determines the design within and in harmony with nature.

The talks by Olivier Filippi, Tayshan Hayden-Smith and Monica Feria-Tinta were an inspiration and were characterised by a positive, forward-looking approach. Their key topics were:

  • The positive developments in the animal kingdom brought about by climate change
  • Social engagement combined with gardens in public spaces
  • A lawyer who champions the rights of nature.

Inspired by this, we look forward to continuing to think beyond boundaries within our team.

Reissued and updated: Featuring 14 projects captured in stunning photographs, we are delighted to present the new edition of Peter Berg’s classic. With photographs by Marianne Majerus, Ulrike Romeis and Philippe Perdereau, we showcase vibrant gardens designed to be close to nature and timeless in style.

Creating a natural slope stabilisation system without concrete requires specialised techniques and experience. Peter Berg has developed particular expertise in this area, particularly with regard to sloping plots, over the years. The slope is stabilised, the usable area is expanded and the amount of maintenance required is reduced by using rock placement, dry stone walls and skilful terracing. Once the basic structure – comprising natural rock formations and dry stone walls – is in place, it’s time for planting. Large trees and shrubs are often planted whilst the slope is being stabilised, followed by grasses, perennials, ferns… – and the garden begins to turn green. We look forward to showing you this process in our next short film. Until then enjoy our video about sloping gardens.

Once again this year, the Life & Living Award highlights which brands and companies in the home, living and garden sectors impress customers. For the seventh time, the German Institute for Service Quality and ntv are honouring the best providers across numerous categories.

A total of 43,826 customer responses were received as part of a representative consumer survey conducted via an online panel. The focus was, on the one hand, on overall satisfaction with the brand or company, which is determined by factors such as trust, value for money, customer service, product range, image and the quality of the product or service.

Bianca Möller, Managing Director of the German Institute for Service Quality, sums up: “Overall, the results paint a positive picture of the sectors assessed. Around 84 per cent of respondents would recommend their providers or brands to others. Customer loyalty is even more pronounced: around 91 per cent would choose the same brand or provider again in future.”

We are delighted with the positive customer feedback and the award at this year’s Life & Living Awards.

GartenLandschaft was founded in 2000 by Peter Berg and Susanne Förster. Their shared passion for high-quality garden design led them to form a blessed and successful partnership, which we celebrated this weekend.

Today, Peter and Susanne are proud to look back on their successful career in the garden design industry, having built a quality-oriented, medium-sized company with unique projects and competition successes. They also train young gardeners, passing on their efficient and sustainable working methods. In 2024, the company concept was further developed jointly. In Paul Heidt, Daniel Pässler and Tim Vennemann, the two founders of the GartenLandschaft® concept have found three dedicated partners. Growth with independent masters of gardening and landscaping enables continuous development and maintains high quality standards. The values of cooperation and project quality are upheld and embraced by all. ‘In addition to our exceptionally passionate team, we would also like to thank our customers and suppliers,’ emphasises Peter Berg. ‘The trust and appreciation of our customers bring joy to our daily work and ensure excellent project outcomes. Long-term cooperation with our suppliers is an important part of our business – we know each other and can rely on each other.’

As a traditional, owner-managed gardening and landscaping company, we are as enthusiastic about creating impressive garden projects incorporating natural elements as we were on our first day. Special locations with challenging topography have become our specialty. However, we don’t just create natural garden designs on sloping gardens. Using natural stone in its original form, we create exciting designs, particularly on flat terrain.

We are now looking forward to the company’s next developments. We greatly appreciate the planning support provided by Isabell Huch and Mirjam Schuth, who work alongside us as part of our team. This enables us to combine theory and practice within a single company, further developing our work.

A number of innovative garden and landscape projects were honoured at the annual SGD Awards ceremony held on the 7th of February. Peter Berg Garden Design won the prestigious SGD Award 2025 in the “International Residential Landscapes & Gardens” category with the project “Set in Stone”.

National (UK) and international entrants were honoured in 21 different categories. The SGD is committed to excellence in garden design and celebrates this in a special setting in London. The evening is not only an awards ceremony, but also an opportunity to network and gain inspiration from the greats of garden design. In addition to the Grand Award for Sarah Eberle, Dan Pearson was honoured with the the “Lifetime Achievement Award”. His contribution to garden and landscape design is nothing short of extraordinary. Dan’s intuitive approach to the natural environment has not only transformed countless landscapes, but has redefined the way we think about the relationship between design and nature.

Our team, led by Peter Berg, impressed the judges with the ‘Set in Stone’ project, a garden on the Moselle River. The distinguished jury praised our “masterful use of materials” and the “skilful design” of the garden, which blends harmoniously into the surrounding Moselle cultural landscape.
