Reviews for Winter Gardens: Reinventing the Season

'This book is a work of art. We all dream about one day capturing images of this quality on out own cameras. It will inspire many of us to travel and see these plants growing naturally with our own eyes - and maybe have one or two of them growing somewhere in our own gardens on specimen plants. (BBC Gardens Illustrated on Bark)' - 'Bark will have you panting; it is the last word in garden porn. Printed on the glossiest paper, it's a large-format book showing ... well, bark, tree skin, with full-length tree portraits thrown in to lower the temperature a little. Pollet has spent years travelling the world with his camera and has produced what, at first glance, might be a book on abstract painting, such are the patterns, textures and vibrant colours. For once the word gorgeous truly applies, and if there's not much reading here it doesn't matter. Look at that Tasmanian snow gum! Look at that bull's-horn acacia! Phwoaar! Show me the nature-lover who could resist. (Times)' - 'A spectacular book. Pollet is a French nature photographer with a singular eye for the colors and patterns in bark. (Seattle Times)' - '' - '' - '' -
