Paddy Wales has spent hours in the early morning quiet of gardens, choosing the perfect view of a border or waiting for just the right light on new leaves. In this morning solitude she has had the chance to consider the foundations and inspirations of our landscapes. What fusion of plants and ideas creates a west coast garden? What drives the gardener to continually experiment, or push the boundaries of climate and soil? Through her text and photographs, Paddy explores a myriad of gardening styles. In a bold Mediterranean design, broad leaves and bright blooms dominate one garden, while the next is a delicate moss forest of tiny foliage and gurgling streams. Each page and photograph is an intimate insight into a neighbor's innovations—a garden visit that will inspire your own creativity. Vissza
