Reflections of Paradise: The Gardens of Fernando Caruncho

Beautiful work, but disappointingly heavy with text. Would love to see more of the work.

So inspired! Everything... stunning!

The introductory interview with Fernando Caruncho explains well the underlying philosophy and design process of Caruncho. The book contains fine images illustrating his projects, but it does not contain any garden layout in order to provide the reader with an overview of the projects and help him to orientate along the explaining text. In addition there are only sparse notes of the plants used in the gardens. Some plant descriptions are even incorrect, e.g. on page 189 in the Palatchi project, the yellow crop is indicated as soybean, but obviously this is oil seed. In summary, this is mainly a coffee table book and only of limited value for professionals. Not what I expected, also considering the high pric).

il libro mi è piacito molto le creazione dei giardini illustrate ti portano a pensare aun giardino Zen

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!!Sadly, as always for Caruncho, the book is WAY overpriced for what you get.Also, seeing the book thrown out of the delivery van’s window was quite alarming, luckily no damage - this time.
