Monet designed his garden as a painter's subject, using plants like brushstrokes. Premier garden writer and photographer Derek Fell helps the home gardener recreate some of Giverny's beauty through an illuminating examination of the painter's planting philosophies. With hundreds of full-color photographs, and reproductions, Fell sheds light on Monet's use of color, structure, favorite flowers; and more.
So wonderfully photographed, well researched, and spell binding that I bought several more of Derek Fell's books immediately. This book inspired me to create a replica of the Grande Alle for my own front entrance.
Extraordinarily beautiful full of ideas and information.

I am so pleased with the purchase of this book. The photography is wonderful, the text is well written. I can't wait for next spring to arrive so I can try some of Monet's ideas.
