Sunday Clippings
Art and horticulture, horticulture and art, does nothing else matter? This week we cover on the art tip: Yayoi Kusama, Mona Lisa and the Palaces of Birds (the worlds first sculptors?!) and on the flip side we cover horticulture: English countryside, British gardeners, British Chef Skye Gyngell, Florist Susanne of The Blue Carrot, and 'The Gardener' by Mohsen Makhmalbaf. Also two ways to show off your talents with Pacific Horticulture Design Challenge and Timber Press Photo submission.
