Francesca Corra
Designing for your outdoor pleasures
Francesca has received an Advanced Certificate
of Gardening from Pierce College in Los Angeles, California.
Her extensive world travels have
allowed her to visit some of the most beautiful gardens ever created.
The Mediterranean garden is the one that appeals
to her basic Italian instincts. It has an innate elegance mixed with intimacy . "The Italian garden does not exist for its flowers: its flowers exist for it." Edith
Wharton
This particular garden would be for your typical castle owner, which many of us are not. But
no matter. The purpose is to enjoy the garden, soak in the beauty and maybe walk away with a few ideas....well, perhaps on
a slightly smaller scale.
Walking through the gardens and countryside in Japan and China has given her an intense appreciation for the calm
and tranquility these environments evoke.
The Oriental garden is beautiful in its simplicity and its symbolism.
Beauty can be found even in the most impoverished and most remote places...all you need is a searching eye.
This is a cemetery on the island of Tonga in the South Pacific. Using some creativity and materials available to them,
they have made this one of the brightest and cheeriest cemeteries you will ever see.
