Green Thoughts and Memories

Horticulture has been a core subject for photographer Marina Schinz throughout her career. This found expression in her previous books, Visions of Paradise, The Gardens of Russell Page, and A Tuscan Paradise. Visiting and photographing countless gardens around the world made her engage in gardening herself and culminated in major garden design projects for her houses, first in Westchester County (New York), then in the Hudson Valley (New York), and finally near Piacenza in Italy.
