Items related to New Gardens in Provence: 30 Contemporary Creations
Provence today is a paradise for garden makers, a natural haven where designers from all over the world mingle with homegrown family gardeners and local horticulturists. Few places have seen as many contemporary garden creations, in as wide a variety: from picturesque to minimalist, private to public, suburban plot to rural field, miniature landscape to vast environment. New Gardens in ProvenceV features 30 of the most extraordinary recent gardens in this remarkable region. Written by Louisa Jones, a specialist in Provencal food and culture and author of the now-classic Gardens in Provence, this breathtaking book visits new gardens along the Côte d’Azur, in Marseilles, Saint-Rémy, and Aix, and throughout the gorgeous countryside of southeastern France. Almost 300 stunning photographs take us behind the garden gate to experience the beauty of meadow and woodland tableaux, magnificent stone terracing, formal topiary arrangements, lush flowerbeds, and even a mountainside project by artist Andy Goldsworthy.
While these man-made landscapes may reflect international trends in garden design, they never lose their harmony with the countryside. As this beautiful book demonstrates, today’s gardens are not only a reflection of the region’s “sense of place,” but also an integral part of the Provencal art de vivre.

About the Author:
LOUISA JONES is a prolific author and journalist who has lived in Provence for more than 30 years. A specialist in Provencal food and culture, she has published more than 15 books in French and English on gardening and cooking, including STC’s Provence Harvest. Her 1992 book Gardens in Provence focused on traditional gardens in the region.
From Booklist:
A versatile author and journalist, Jones is also a recognized expert on the gardening disciplines and design styles associated with the verdant and iconic region of Provence. Inspired by a diverse Mediterranean garden palette, professional and amateur gardeners are attracted to the region's endless mountaintop vistas of vineyards, olive groves, and intricate stone terraces that hide nooks teeming with herbs and flowers. However, a new landscape trend has emerged, one Jones identifies as "Land Art," which synthesizes a return to traditional design practices such as precisely sculpted greenery and geometrical field plantings with a contemporary awareness of ecology that recognizes human intervention in the landscape. From the Cote d'Azur to the Luberon hills, this exquisitely produced and informative guide exhibits 30 gardens that best interpret this new design approach. Hundreds of arresting photographs capture Provence's seductive allure, making this an intoxicating treat for armchair travelers as well as an enchanting resource for garden enthusiasts. Carol Haggas
