Tangier Gardens: Out of the Classroom into Real Life...via Plant Portals (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798985160017)

In the summer of 2000, a young American college student struggles with cultural hurdles, intoxication and physical injuries as he tries to complete his term abroad design study. Will he overcome these challenges? Can his will power, his family or his girlfriend give him strength? Or will his new found botanical friends in Tangier at the Hibiscus House save him?

Sometimes life takes us down roads to places we never wanted to be. These are landscape stories. What makes them landscape stories? They are told by a professional landscape architect, CJ, whose expatriate international career put him in real life touch with landscape legends. He wasn't looking for legends-they found him.
Legends-from the Moors, from West Africa, from the Sahara, from the Golden Triangle, from the Swiss Alps, from Anatolia.
Myths? Allegories? Fables? Legends? The landscape-where an ever-vibrant blend of human life and culture thrives-one step beyond. If you haven't been there... you have no idea. CJ went there. You should too. Get started with Tangier Gardens.
