Exceptional Gardens

This post is also a repeat but since it's from May 2008, you might not remember it.  The garden is featured in a lovely book Exceptional Gardens that was originally published in Belgium.  The name really says it all and it's filled with gorgeous green gardens around Europe.  Also a reminder to get out and enjoy the beautiful late summer weather while you can.  Bon weekend!

Jardins Extraordinaires

My blogger friend Decorno was lamenting the state of her backyard recently and it had me thinking about my favorite book for outdoor inspiration, Exceptional Gardens or Jardins Extraordinaires in French and Bijzondere Tuinen in Dutch. It's a fancy trilingual book produced in Belgium and full of drool worthy gardens some of which I've posted here. It's the perfect book to escape into on a cold and dreary day like today in New York. (Oh and by the way, thanks for ruining another Friday Mother Nature!)
