I believe that
every garden is a work of art, not just a collection of
plants. A firm structure guides the eye and provides a
background for all planting.
In a natural garden, the structure is still present as part
of the design concept but is disguised by the gentler
shapes of trees, shrubs and soft flowery plants. For the
series, I selected gardens with the hope of being able to
demonstrate not only these principles, but their
extensions.
