The first monograph devoted to landscape gardener Pascal Cribier, this book reproduces more than 1,000 panoramic photos taken and commented on by the artist.
In the form of an alphabet book, Pascal Cribier invites us to ramble through his gardens where nothing is left to chance: from a rooftop terrace in Paris to a lagoon in Bora Bora, from the Tuileries to a swamp in the forest of Fontainebleau, from a British vegetable patch to an American ranch… Several contributions by historians, scientists and gardeners accompany the itineraries of this gardener at the forefront of ecology, concerned with the economic conditions of production and the upkeep of his creations.
