The Garden Liberated: An Evolution Of Italian Garden Design

In his gardens, landscape designer Paolo Pejrone (1941-) approaches the design of greenery with great humility, placing himself at the service of nature. He respects the spirit of the place, planning seasonal flowering, giving priority to local plants and studying exposure to sun and shade in order to minimise watering requirements and make the most of the land's resources. In complete harmony with the rhythm of nature, the Pejrone gardens are a manifesto of sobriety and sustainability.

Located in different regions of Italy, from the marshes of Piedmont to the gentle hills of Tuscany, from the lush Riviera to the sunny coasts of the south, the ten gardens created by Pejrone gathered in this book reflect the variety of the Italian territory and its extraordinary biodiversity.
