Items related to Gardens by the Sea
The mix of sensuous sea air and rolling landscapes of flora and rock produce incredibly evocative gardens. Whether wild and rambling, sprouting naturally from the surrounding landscape, or a formally designed property punctuated with sculpture, oceanside gardens are infused with romance and beauty and filled with some of the most exceptional examples of horticultural art in the world. Author Alexandra d’Arnoux understands the pairing of the man-made and the shore. Her highly successful Family Houses by the Sea is a concert of retreat and natural splendor; here she visits, with Bruno de Laubadère and celebrated photographer Erica Lennard, talented creators and their masterful gardens along the shores of the United States, Europe, and the Mediterranean.
Gardens by the Sea gives an unprecedented view of these gardens, some never before open to the public eye. With creations along the coasts of New England and California and exotic gardens in Europe, each scene is vibrant in detail. In Tunisia, we visit a garden of sand; in Rhode Island, we relax in a garden of grasses; a Buddha holds court beneath a climbing rose in Malibu; in Normandy, a tower peeks above the palms. Each garden in the book is a fresh fantasy, a trip to a very special place.
Gardens by the Sea is lush with more than 250 photographs—at once poetic and striking—that set you in the midst of these inspiring places of splendor and grace, the perfect ambition for any gardener and tantalizing sanctuary for any beauty lover.

Review:
Erica Lennard is an internationally renowned photographer, whose books include The Art of Doing Nothing, Artist’s Gardens, Writer’s Houses, and Breaking Ground. She exhibits her work in galleries worldwide and contributes to magazines such as Elle International, French Vogue, and House Beautiful.
Bruno de Laubadère is a journalist and garden historian whose books include The Secret Gardens of Paris.
A celebration of maritime utopias from the Mediterranean, America, Britain, North Africa and Mexico, authors Alexandra d'Arnous and Bruno de Laubadere, accompanied by photographer Erica Lennard, travel together to these seaside oasis'. Protected from the harsh salt-laden winds by vegetative barriers, embracing the rocky cliffs or running into the beach, they are all beautiful examples of sympathetic garden design and expertise. Tropical plantings and structured formality, blowsy florality and natural herbage recall memories of summer holidays and create havens of solitude for their owners in the midst of busy coastlines. The book encompasses our own lush, green jewels of Trebah and Tresco, the Walton's acclaimed La Mortella, an emerald drop in the middle of the Mediterranean, Corsican sculpture gardens, American wilderness gardens, shore-embracing Tunisian retreats, all stunningly designed and created in the face of adversity. This is a fabulous illustrated collection of coastal inspiration - contemporary, and classical - to inspire and dream of, accompanied by knowledgeable and intelligent text. A true glimpse of paradise for lovers of maritime gardens. - Lucy Watson

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Used - Very Good. Daffodils nodding along the Long Island Sound, feathery reeds rising from a pool in Spain, camel lias abloom on a cliff in France: seaside gardens are as varied and as captivating as the coastal Landscape itself. Gardens by the Sea explores 20 exceptional seaside gardens in Italy, Spain, France, England, and the East and West Coasts of the United States. Engaging tours of each garden reveal how they were created and bring to life their special qualities, from the mixture of austerity and exoticism of Spain's water gardens to the aura of antiquity that pervades Corsican gardens, to the tamed wildness found on Cornwall's coastline. With 250 striking photographs, Gardens by the Sea is an elegant book, an irresistible invitation to experience paradise shaped, in concert, by nature and the human imagination. 'Gardens by the Sea' explores 20 exceptional seaside gardens in Italy, Spain, France, England, and the east and west coasts of the United States.
