Olivier Filippi and his wife Clara run a nursery in the South of France that specializes in exceptional Mediterranean plants. Over 30 years, their pioneering plant research has taken them to many of the world's dry-climate regions and given them a unique understanding of the plants that grow there. They trial plants in their own experimental garden and grow them for leading garden designers. In addition to being the author of three books on dry-climate plants, Olivier Filippi is also a photographer and inspiring lecturer who speaks to a wide international audience on his specialist subject.
