Books by Olivier Filippi

Mediterranean garrigue landscapes are extraordinarily beautiful: alternating mounds of silver and green, textured leaves, flashes of colour and intoxicating scents delight the senses and rival cultivated gardens with half the work. This book offers inspiration and expert advice on growing the plants and adopting a new more natural way of gardening.

This classic work, first published in 2008, offers practical advice to dry-climate gardeners and will also interest gardeners in areas where drought is becoming a recurring problem. With a directory of more than 500 plants and strategies to minimize watering it takes you on a pioneering adventure that paves the way to a new style of gardening.

First published in French as Alternatives au gazon in 2011.
