The French Country Garden: New Growth on Old Roots


Description

In France today, the heritage of classic parterres and landscaped parks, of botanical enquiry and family kitchen gardens, provides an inspiration for fresh delights and creativity. Louisa Jones has been exploring this heritage ever since she acquired an old farmstead in southern France nearly 30 years ago. For this book, she invited the hugely talented French photographers Gilles Le Scanff and Joelle Caroline Mayer to join her on an odyssey that took them from Normandy to the Riviera, the Loire to the Pyrenees, to reveal the full extent of the Renaissance in French country gardens. Richly diverse, these gardens have been sensitively organised into six themes appealing to every taste. Features: highly fashionable Grandmothers; gardens combine fruits, herbs, flowers and vegetables in seemingly haphazard displays to offer nostalgic visions of cottage-style family life; gardens for the Five Senses, inspired by the medieval and Renaissance past, focuses on sensual stimulation; the Passion for Plants is exhibited in exotic, beautiful and novel planting schemes. Formal Fancies take the elegance of the classical parterre but endow it with contemporary wit and fantasy. Natures Ways emphasizes the protection of natural biotypes and regional landscapes. And Planetary Perspectives shows how French gardeners are giving their own creative gloss to worldwide exchanges of knowledge and resources.

He creates immediate imbalance and plans to strike at White's centre with all available resources. An insipid response from White may not even retain equality, so in the main lines he takes up the gauntlet: he creates a large pawn-centre and puts this to use to launch an attack. While the theory of these lines has been extensively developed, there is a coherent logical thread running through them: the Grunfeld is essentially an opening of grand ideas, which need to be understood well in order to get to grips with the theory and handle the resulting positions. This book provides a discussion of all major lines, and a special contribution from Viacheslav Eingorn on the key ideas of the Rb1 Exchange main line, which he was instrumental in developing in the 1970s and 1980s.
