A garden is more than the sum of its parts--a garden can be
anything one wants it to be. What's important is that it have a
heart. Through ethereal illustrations, textile designer and artist
Virginia Johnson takes the reader on her own garden journey, from
blank slate to dreamscape. Over the years, she has transformed a
small, narrow city lot into a garden that is personal, carefree,
wild, and welcoming. It all began with a fence to allow her
children to play freely but safely, and over the years has turned
into a city-dweller's "secret garden." Hornbeams, with their
elegant shape, are the heroes of her garden, and the overall
palette reflects an artist's lens--peonies, hollyhocks, roses, and
hydrangeas abound. Johnson explains her process with ease and
clarity, bringing her ideas to life through words and illustrations
so that readers can be encouraged and empowered to start their own
garden journeys. The book is organized into clear chapters--Trees
& Shrubs; Vines; Flowers; Seasons; Edibles; and more.
In this irresistible marriage of water colourist's sketchbook and
traveler's guide, Virginia Johnson lovingly captures the magic of
one of the world's most storied regions, the French Riviera. We
walk the Promenade des Anglais in Nice. Shop for handmade sandals
at Rondini in Saint-Tropez. Visit the Madoura workshop in Antibes,
where Picasso discovered his genius for pottery. Meet legendary
characters like Pierre Gruneberg, a swimming instructor who taught
Jean Cocteau, Brigitte Bardot, Paul McCartney, and many others.
Saturated with the limpid colours of sea and sun, the dazzling
greens of verdant gardens, and the rose and ochre of sunbaked
villas and joyous with paisleys and blue-striped sailor's shirts
and the riotous look of a patisserie window filled with
confections, Travels Through the French Riviera is a gift book of
visual wonder, the souvenir every Francophile will want. But it is
also a quirky yet singularly useful travel guide, whether showing
how to order coffee like a local, plan a beach day at Menton, or
hike the Cap Ferrat peninsula or where to taste the best ice cream
in Antibes (at Amarena - try the mint).
