Review
'The Impressionist Garden is sumptuous in its production, with beautifully interwoven photographs of gardens, details from painting, photographs of modern gardens and color schemes for creating them. The impression is a dazzle of sun-drenched color.'

Impressionist's Garden,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Impressionist Garden: Ideas and Inspiration from the Paintings and Gardens of the Impressionists (Hardcover)
Derek Fell does it again! Amazing photography combined with very well researched and written text, sprinkled with occasional glimpses of the original paintings. However, it and "Monet's Garden" are very similar. I personally liked the latter so much I bought several other of his works, and they all are exceptional.

First Sentence:
In a world that has changed drastically this century through two World Wars, population explosions, and industrial and suburban blight, it is surprising to find that many of the gardens that the Impressionists planted - and many more that they painted - survive today, either as a result of restoration, or because they remained in private hands with owners who valued their historic associations.
