What's a good source to learn about his life (besides Wikipedia)?
Sadly he nowadays seems to be a bit forgotten, apart from the Napolitan ice cream here in Germany named after him (chocolate + strawberry + vanilla), and I am not aware of any books on him in English.
He wrote many books, by which sale he got revenue to foster his expensive landscaping. The "most famous" is probably "Tutti Frutti", which is not about landscaping but a ironic representation of his current times – but this as well has not seen any reprint for probably a century now. I always wondered, why... Maybe I'll do a reprint someday :)

I wrote it and am really confused what you mean, I think I'm missing a joke? If not this is serious, it shouldn't be there.

#25Onto the reading list it goes! Love stuff like this that gets into basic principles of designing human experiences, through a very specific lens (in this case, garden landscaping!)
That is the sweetest compliment I could have hoped for, thank you.
