Secrets of Monet's Garden

So wonderfully photographed, well researched, and spell binding that I bought several more of Derek Fell's books immediately. This book inspired me to create a replica of the Grande Alle for my own front entrance.

Extraordinarily beautiful full of ideas and information.

I am so pleased with the purchase of this book. The photography is wonderful, the text is well written. I can't wait for next spring to arrive so I can try some of Monet's ideas.
