Picardy: An Australian Garden Inspired by a Passion for All Things French

Picardy: An Australian Garden Inspired by a Passion for All Things French by Marian Somes is a beautifully illustrated garden and lifestyle book that captures the story of creating a romantic French-inspired garden in the Australian landscape. After being inspired by their travels through France, Marian and Bryce Somes transformed a large piece of land in Victoria's Gippsland region into Picardy, an enchanting garden inspired by French gardens and the beauty of Monet's Giverny.
The property features extensive perennial and picking gardens, an orchard, olive grove and vineyard surrounding a French-style rammed-earth farmhouse and barn. 
This gorgeous gardening and lifestyle coffee table book offers inspiration for anyone interested in garden design, French-style gardens, landscaping, flowers, country gardens and beautiful outdoor spaces.
