The book takes us into a world of sensual delights - cascades of water, gently swaying trees, and mountains of boulders.

“Mosko is a magician whose creations are spaces of great meditative power and innocence. His gardens reassure us that nature and mankind are, per-haps, really one after all.”
—Panayoti Keliatis, Curator of Plants, Denver Botanic Gardens

“The beautifully designed garden has a magical intangible quality that helps us transcend our busy modern lives and connects us to the universe.”
—Herb Schaal, FASLA, Principal, EDAW

“Mosko perceives the garden as a mandala, and creates meditative spaces where the spirit can play.”
—Dr. Gert Groening, Berlin University of the Arts

Landscape as Spirit is a book about more than landscape architecture. It will help you to create a beautiful outer envi-ronment using your inner resources.

The Mountain sits
with undifferentiated, unlimited Mind.
White clouds encircle
the White Peak.
Rain falls to the Ground
Creating rivulets, brooks, cascades, and pools.
The Eastern Sun arises.
Flowers bloom in Space, the color of Rainbows.
The Wind chases the Dragons along the
Sage’s Path.
