A garden must combine the poetic and the mysterious with a feeling of serenity and joy.

I think that the ideal space must contain elements of magic, serenity, sorcery and mystery.

Life deprived of beauty is not worthy of being called human.

The fact that I can make a living and support three kids and my wife doing what I love to do... who does that? That's golden. It's a very privileged thing.
