With work spanning seven decades, Sorensen designed remarkable gardens from Glen Innes in the far north to Cowra and Orange in the west, through Sydney's eastern suburbs and south to Wollongong and Canberra.
Many of his iconic designs, including Gleniffer Brae and Everglades in the Blue Mountains, are must-see examples of his work for garden lovers. These gardens, often described as 'outside rooms', showcase his signature seamless connections between indoor and outdoor spaces.
Danish-born Sorensen developed his own distinctive landscape style, ethos and technique in gardens across NSW. They were notable for their aesthetic values, his distinctive use of dry-stone wall technique, and extensive paving.
