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 Somes Marian, published by Allen & Unwin in 2019.

When Bryce and Marian Somes took a whistle-stop tour of France in 1986, they couldn't have imagined the lasting effect it would have on their future. Having tried to coax various gardens to flourish along on the harsh Western Australian coastline and later moving on from suburban gardening in Melbourne, the Someses found 26 acres of bare but beckoning land in Victoria's Gippsland in 1992 and set about creating what Bryce lovingly referred to as a French folly.

A lovely addition to your coffee table or bookshelf, and a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves gardening.
