Reviews

“Cabot is one of the most interesting figures in American gardening.” * Washington Post * “The evolutions of that land under different hands interest Cabot almost as much as the evolutions he has brought about. Cabot is also delightfully candid about the range of sources that have influenced Les Quatre Vents. He is an unabashed bricoleur.” * New York Times * “Les Quatre Vents deploys many different features and styles but manages, by some process or alchemy, to make harmony out of its richly varied ingredients and to preserve a strong sense of individuality.” * Telegraph *
