Description
The Luberon Garden: A Provençal Story of Apricot Blossom, Truffles and Thyme
Alex Dingwall-Main's account of gardening his way round Provence is a story of growth, disaster, and transformation. In 2002, he set out to restore the secret garden of Menerbes, a famously beautiful village in the Luberon region.
From truffle dealers to local mayors, film star neighbours to JCB drivers and olive-tree farmers, Alex takes us on a guided tour of an extraordinary area. With evocative prose, he shares his experiences and insights into the people, plants, and life of Provence.
