Biography
Following a dispute with his employer, he decided to open his own market garden. In 1774, he became the director of the royal gardens at Karlberg Palace. In 1785, he took leadership of the continued construction of Haga Park from his predecessor Fredrik Magnus Piper. From 1787 until 1790, his work primarily consisted of channel and islet landscape design. In 1800, Ackermann oversaw the planting of roughly 26,000 trees at each of the garden centers of Hagaparken. He was also notably employed by Samuel af Ugglas to shape the English park at Forsmark.
