About the Author

OvS was founded in Washington, DC in 1975 by horticulturalist Wolfgang Oehme and architect James van Sweden. Their partnership established a style known as the New American Garden, which celebrates the seasonal splendor of the American meadow while promoting its inherent ecological and sustainable values. Under the guidance of the new principals, the OvS style continues to evolve but remains driven by art, science, and emotional connections.
