Garden Inspiration - Provence and Tuscany

Pale, chalky Limestone baked by the endless summer sun; sandy blonde grasses blown by the warm breeze perfumed with lavender, herbs and citrus; clipped boxwood brings a sense of order to the landscape; bleached, gnarled trunks of ancient olive trees contrast against crisp, white rendered walls; regimented rows of pencil thin Cypress point towards the heavens and the endless Mediterranean skies... Inspiring elements to make your garden a place to dine, a place to relax, a place to escape...!
