I was reminded of Spanish landscape architect Fernando Caruncho‘s work late last spring while on a garden crawl with fellow designer Jane Derickson. Several years ago I had read and article about Caruncho’s work in New Jersey by Anne Raver in the New York Times. Before that time I hadn’t been aware of his work. I have since bought Mirrors of Paradise: The Gardens of Fernando Caruncho.
So, if you don’t know his work, here’s a short introduction. Please click the images to view the source.















Yes, fabulous.
Came across him thru Monty Don’s 80 world gardens prog on BBC a few years ago.
So understated and calming!

I am not shy about admiring others work. In fact I find it inspiring. Wish we had some decent garden programming stateside…we don’t.–s
