"NICOLE DE VESIAN - GARDENS: MODERN DESIGN IN PROVENCE"
edited by Louisa Jones.
Due 31 March. After a career as a renowned fashion designer in Paris and New York, Nicole de Vesian (1916-1996) moved to Provence in the 1980's and, at the age of 70,
began creating a series of superbly proportioned and innovative gardens. Classically French in form (even if devoid of symmetry), pared down without being austere and in profound harmony
with the surrounding countryside, these green and grey tapestries quickly came to inspire gardeners and garden designers the world over. Indeed, few French gardens are as widely imitated
as those of Vesian; as Louisa Jones writes, "she had a feeling for space just as a musician has a good ear." This monograph is the first devoted to Vesian's work, and offers testimonies,
reflections and full-color views of her most celebrated creations, including her own celebrated garden, La Louve, in the hilltop village of Bonnieux.

"The Enchanted Garden"
by Paul Bangay

Now to be released in Paperback
"THE ENCHANTED GARDEN"
by Paul Bangay with photographs by Simon Griffiths.
Due in Early-April. Paul Bangay wites "Woodend was less than an hour from my Melbourne office, and the size of the school land was manageable.
That was as far as my rational response to St Ambrose went - for I'd fallen in love with the schoolhouse. It had been tucked away for so long behind its walls of blackberries,
like some sleeping beauty, that I wanted to wake it up, bring it to life."
The Enchanted Garden is the story of how renowned landscape designer Paul Bangay came to build the garden of St Ambrose Farm, against the blue background of Mount Macedon.
The breathtaking garden of vistas and green rooms that Paul Bangay designed, and photographer Simon Griffiths so evocatively captures, will weave a spell on readers.
