Testimonials – Garden Weeks in Provence with Louisa Jones


Thank you for one of the most memorable weeks of my life!- Joan Simms, 2008, returned in 2011

Louisa, thank you once again. Your depth of knowledge and passion for new garden design/land art in Provence; your ability to share that knowledge so well and your gentle caring and patience with us, all made the whole garden experience so special.- Justine Tennant, April 2011

This was the most wonderful tour- all I’d hoped and then more. I enjoyed every aspect – the gardens of course, my fellow travelers, the hotel, the meals (both the formal and informal) the weather (yes, you should take a bow for that!) and the overall organization. I thank you also for your wonderful relaxed attitude, your incredible knowledge and great willingness to share it with such patience and grace.- Kay Annoni, April 2011

You did a wonderful job, I felt like visiting with the close friend, and the intimate atmosphere of the group and Martin and his staff was superb. I wish I could spend every April with you.- Irina Frayer, garden designer, April 2011

We returned home energized and inspired. I think this was the best trip of my life!- Ewa Zembrozsi, 2008

Thank you so much for your marvellous tour, it was stimulating and exciting in every way, visually, intellectually, gastronomically. La Mirande was the perfect base, and Martin the perfect host.- Michael and Penny Hunter, 2008

The tour with Louisa was the best garden tour we have ever taken and staying at La Mirande is a remarkable experience.- Mary Tonetti Dorra, 2007
