Gardens of Provence by Louisa Jones
The style of Provence dates back from the Roman farming estates which were much like those of Tuscany. Pleasure and practicality go hand in hand.

Gardens produce food, fragrance, shade in summer, warmth in winter, variety, and color. Country living appeals to all the senses.
Houses are made from local materials and blend with the landscape. There are Mediterranean gardens, designed for summer heat and drought, full of evergreen dhrubs and aromatics.

Today, gardeners in Provence may come from all over the world, and are producing a new style of rustic refinement.
