TERRA INCOGNITA
Pierre Magnol's Flowering Trees
I come from a family of gardeners. Every inch of available land was cultivated, discussed, worked over, loved and cared for. For the most part these are the front and back gardens of family homes. In return these micro green spaces provided us with vegetables, herbs, colour, aroma and much more importantly in my opinion, a place to play. Of course I helped out as a child. My efforts were short lived often was a perfect storm of unhelpfulness.
It was my uncle Les who opened my eyes to the needs of our shared environment. Through him I was introduced to the concept of Ecology and if I wanted to make any difference at all to the well being of our planet then I needed to start by looking after my own garden first. Thank you Uncle Les for helping me to open my eyes and think about what I am doing. Thank you for your support.
These flora portraits are my delight. TERRA INCOGNITA is an ongoing urban botanical exploration of my city home, Berlin, with occasional trips out of town. My pictures are all daylight, made in city green spaces, with virtually no post processing. I like to think of our parks and gardens as "Gardens for the gardenless"
Alles liebe aus dem Baumhaus
