The stories of these gardens seem to have a general theme: a dedicated gardener stumbles upon a site and falls in love. Of the thirty properties presented in this beautiful book, some are new gardens brought back to life on the grounds surrounding an old house. Others were designed around new structures. One represents the reclaiming of an abandoned park. Although they're new (in the European sense of "new," as in decades-old), these gardens are lush and well-established. And, of course, they're remarkably beautiful. Hundreds of color photographs help tell the story of how each garden came to be. You love Provence? You love gardens? You'll love this book!
