Pascal Cribbier is a French gardener / landscape architect who entered the field after working with tree nurseries. His work aims to 'provide perspectives for the garden of the future' which is respectful of nature and natural resources leading to gardens becoming a 'place where economics and maintenance issues are as important as formal and aesthetical aspects'. He prefers to call himself a gardener because of the 'differences between nature and landscape on the one hand, and gardens on the other' as nature/landscape has no boundaries whereas the garden is an enclosed space where people can become absorbed 'by the contemplation of the ephemeral living'.
His work; L’œil d'Aramon at Chateau de Plaisir in France. To me this is quite a simplistic piece of landscaping using inspiration from something which wouldn't typically be used for a garden however is really effective. It's simplicity and clean execution is what creates the impact of the piece, and it's definitely a center piece you could imagine in a modern, forward-thinking garden.
