Starting a garden from scratch is pretty daunting but that’s what Russian designer Alexandre Grivko did a few years ago on the coast of Normandy. What he made is a garden like no other…an avant-garde blend of masterful topiary & land art. We’ll have a chance to explore Les Jardines d'Etretat on my tour to this garden-rich area of France next September. Interested? Full itinerary here: http://www.carexdesign.com/tours/
