Forward by Gregory Long, president emeritus of the New York Botanical Garden“The line between art and nature has never seemed so blurred as it is in the Brine Garden.”
“Six acres of plantings appear at first to be a most exquisite bit of natural landscape, displaying a minimal amount of human intervention. The Brine Garden, “is a vision that is deeply knowledgeable of plants’ habits and needs and uses them to tell the landscape story….Although the emphasis is on natives, handsome foreigners appropriate to the landscape take their place in the composition as well.”
