Jardins D'hiver : Une Saison Réinventée

Reprint

There are a few gardens that are designed to be beautiful and colourful in the dead of winter. Far beyond the simple effects of snow and frost, these are gardens in which the judicious use of trees with remarkable bark, shrubs with intensely coloured stems, plants with evergreen foliage and those that flower in the heart of the bad season, transform a garden into a fairyland of luminous colours and subtle fragrances.

Naturalist photographer Cédric Pollet has travelled throughout France and England in search of the most beautiful winter gardens. In this book, he presents 20 exceptional gardens, hundreds of compositions and more than 300 plants and varieties to be used to enhance your garden in winter. The first part of the book is devoted to the four gardens that most fascinated Cédric Pollet: the Etang de Launay in Normandy, the Bois Marquis garden in Isère, Sir Harold Hillier Gardens in Hampshire and Bressingham Gardens in Norfolk.
