'Sacha[_10_ Wrote: ;978277']Our first reaction is that it was an interesting programme that we enjoyed. BUT it was full of celeb irrelevancies. We are not interested in where Monty Don lived when he was 19, what he looked like wearing a berêt or what he used for transport. Nor did we care that he looked like the wrath of dieu before he'd had a coffee or that he wanted to sit in a Parisian streetside café, watching the world go by. ALL WASTED TIME! But the gardening bits we did enjoy very much and we thought he presented them really well. Giverny looks infinitely better planted than it was 4 or 5 years ago and much more inviting and enticing. And I'm afraid there's another BUT - but why don't they put the names of the blasted gardens on the blasted screen? The one he visited in which an American art dealer now lives absolutely fascinated me. I'd love to see more of it but did we get the name? No, we did not. How irritating! ça m'emmerde!! ;-) -- Sacha 'Buy plants online, including rare and popular plant varieties from Hill House Nursery, mail order plant specialist' (http://www.hillhousenursery.com) South Devon 'Help for Heroes' (http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk) Did some research for you Sacha, it was Jardin de la Louve at Bonnieux 'Jardin de la Louve (Garden of the She-Wolf) - BONNIEUX - garden more info' (http://tinyurl.com/bl74ehh) Thank you so much! It's officially a 'notable garden', apparently. The woman who designed it originally was a designer for Hermes. What interests me is that it's not a very large space in which to achieve so much and she wasn't what most of us would call 'a gardener'. What a brilliant use of eye and the understanding of spatial relationships. And that plunge pool is superb. I've only ever seen one, very like it, in a garden in Crete and it's a style that works wonderfully because (imo) it evokes the rills and canals of older gardens and isn't a big intrusive blob in the corner of an otherwise tranquil space. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |
