"The rollicking adventures of an English garden designer in Provence" - "The Independent". "Escapist reading. .magic." - "The Times". Alex Dingwall-Main left London with his wife and dog nine years ago for the Luberon region of the South of France. A landscape gardener of international renown, he was in search of a challenge - a new climate, a new way of gardening and a new way of life. This is his account of gardening his way round Provence, and in particular, of attempting to restore the secret garden of Menerbes. Situated high on the plains of the Luberon region, Menerbes is a famously beautiful village - but this garden had long been forgotten. It trailed down over seven levels, thick with brambles and hornets' nests, almond blossom and ancient fig trees. It was an archetypal Provencal garden and for one whole year it dominated Alex Dingwall-Main's life. From distant dreams came growth and disasters, but ultimately, the garden is reclaimed. From truffle dealers to local mayors, film star neighbours to JCB drivers and olive-tree farmers, Alex takes us on a guided tour of an extraordinary area. Published in hardback with serialisation in the "Times" and major review and feature coverage this is the enticing paperback edition to a beautifully written book on plants, people and life. Evocative and inspiring, "The Luberon Garden" will take you on an unforgettable journey...
