Provencal Art de Vivre
20 Feb 2007
Format:Hardcover
The French country garden has experienced a renaissance in recent years. Following Rousseau's stipulation to "please the eye" the reader will find this is accomplished by placing what Jones identifies as "Land Art," right at the heart of the garden and making it the focus. Around it, she strikes a personal balance between formality and gentle disorder.
Drawing inspiration from the iconic region of Provence, New Gardens in ProvenceV features 30 designs detailing the full extent and exciting diversity of the modern French country garden.
Hundreds of arresting photographs capture Provence's seductive allure that are sure to gain favor among Francophiles. St. Fiacre the patron saint of gardens would approve of this wonderful celebration of new interpretations of French gardens, old-fashioned techniques, and the rediscovering of obscure heirlooms.

great book
5 April 2008
Format:Hardcover
I am a horticulturist and wanted a book to research a Provencal garden I wanted to design for a client. I was leary because there were many books and I was not sure which one would be good. I made a great pick. The pictures are great and provided me with lots of ideas. The author knows a lot about gardens and specifically design. I highly recommend to anyone that wants to creat a garden with high design and a great spiritual feel.

Fabulous Garden Designs!
11 Nov 2008
Format:Hardcover
I have a new appreciation for wild gardens, thanks to this book. I like the way it's divide by description: Small Secret Gardens, Story Telling Gardens, Wild and Woodland Gardening, Sculpted Landscapes, V Stone Lines, and Community Sharing. I fell in love with a couple of gardens (including the one shown on the cover) and it turns out they were designed by the same person: Michel Semini. I'll be trying my best to copy his approach in my own garden.
