gardening and horticulture

Lent to me by a friend to get ideas on using large planters I found A Tuscan Paradise to be an absolute delight to both the eyes and soul. Not only is there beauty in the landscape photographs but of those indoors as well, how the home and its furnishings harmonize with the spendor of nature well attended.

Schinz's individual photographs are often masterpieces of composition, visual ships-in-a-bottle of perfection. They hold one's eyes like fine Impressionism.

If you have a friend who loves gardening, buy them this book! It makes me want to pack for Tuscany every time I think of it.

Wonderful photographs and a delightful text enable you to visit, in your own home, the very special retreat of two Italian perfectionists. Flowers, plants, pergolas match the very Italian Tuscan architecture, furniture and furnishings. A pure delight.
