How to Create a Jardin Paysan
This is a book about creating a traditional, rural French-style garden which will have a timeless charm. It's an antidote to the garden makeover, to suburban style manicured lawns, or ranch fencing and tarmac driveways, and should help to avoid the costly mistake of a beautifully restored house sitting in an garden that looks more like a business park somewhere off the M25.
It's about organic gardens, it's about creating natural habitats for birds and insects, and making the garden a seamless link between your house and the natural world of the French countryside on the other side of your garden fence. It includes some old techniques that have been passed on from one generation to another, but which work, and which will help you look at gardening in a new way.
It's not so much a manual of gardening, as a guide to help you to tame nature (but only slightly) to create something of abundance and beauty around a home in France - or even in the UK.
