The only reason this book didn't get 5 stars is because it doesn't include the author's home. Mr. Blanc is a design genius and this book is a feast for the eyes. If you are interested in botany, gardening, architecture, or design, you will find this book interesting and inspirational. A great illustration of thinking outside the box.
