Gardening always has been an art, essentially.

I cannot remember a time when I was not interested in both gardening and painting. I must have been born with a trowel in one hand and a paintbrush in the other.

'The Gardener' is more than a marvellous collection of images by a master photographer.

Gardening is how I relax. It's another form of creating and playing with colors.

I love to get into a landscape and paint my horses.

I do the gardening.

I have always wanted to be a gardener, and I love the time I spend in my garden.

A garden is a complex of aesthetic and plastic intentions; and the plant is, to a landscape artist, not only a plant - rare, unusual, ordinary or doomed to disappearance - but it is also a color, a shape, a volume or an arabesque in itself.

I think gardens are fantastic, and I'd love to draw and design and stuff like that. I love just planting flowers during the summer. There's something very humble about it, and natural and beautiful.
