William Christie's 'Musical Gardens'

“I learned very quickly when I was a youngster that I could count on music: it’s solace, it’s something that can comfort you, and I feel very much the same about gardens. I can walk around, and find rest, and then happiness, yes, and companionship because, you know, like music you’re never alone in a garden."

In the Gardens of William Christie

“Nature is fickle, and being a gardener of course is sometimes being the parent of a very unhappy and unruly child"
