Jardins côtiers

Creating gardens that are in harmony with their surroundings is now an essential aspect of landscape design. Nowhere is this more evident than in coastal gardens, whether perched atop a rocky Mediterranean cliff, nestled in a sheltered bay on the south coast of Great Britain, or bordering a sandy beach in Australia. Rooted in their surroundings and offering breathtaking sea views, coastal gardens embody an atmosphere of tranquillity, beauty and a deep connection with nature.

This book invites you to discover 48 remarkable private gardens situated along the world’s most iconic coastlines. These green spaces represent a wide variety of terrains, climates and garden styles – from Bernard Trainor’s design for a family of surfers, overlooking the waves under the Californian sun, to Ulf Nordfjell’s sinuous and thoughtful garden on the south coast of Sweden.
