Growing Thoughts: A Garden in Andalusia
- Carlos March reviews the thirty-five year history of his garden at Altarejos, a model of complementary planting, equilibrium and respect for the environment
In this beautiful book, which features numerous full-page colour photographs, Carlos March, a businessmen and nature-lover, relates the story of his garden in Altarejos, located in the foothills of the Sierra Morena, to the north of the Province of Seville. Surrounded by wild mountain pastureland, among rocks and slate slopes replete with rock roses and holm oaks, this spectacular garden in Altarejos is stocked with three hundred varieties of roses and more than four hundred species of trees, bushes and covering plants. After thirty-five years of careful work, this garden represents a prime example of balance and respectful integration with regard to the environment.
The history of its creation and its meticulous and ongoing development, together with its achievements, successes and failures, also tells the story of its creator, in his capacity as a nature-lover, gardening enthusiast, hunter and photographer.
