About the authors

Olivier Filippi

Olivier Filippi and his wife Clara run Pépinière Filippi on a windswept site overlooking the lagoons of the Étang du Thau, near Mèze in the south of France. Their nursery — established in the 1980s and built into a reference for Mediterranean horticulture — now holds a collection of some fifteen hundred species and varieties, and propagates around two hundred thousand plants a year for designers and gardeners working with drought.
