Description: "It is now more than thirty years since landscape architect and designer Alexandre Thomas created, around his family home in Normandy, the gardens called 'Agapanthus'. Liking to plant for immediate (or very rapid) effect, he never stops experimenting there and is forever trying out new ideas and plants. Often considered to be a 'nonconformist' landscaper, Alexandre Thomas rejects cliche, boldly combining classical discipline and exotic fantasy. Surprising in all seasons, the Agapanthus gardens have become a place of inspiration for the hundreds of enthusiasts who visit them each year"--Back cover.
