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.

Published in hardback with serialisation in the "Times" and major review and feature c
