Essential for anyone with a passion for gardens and garden design, is the opportunity to view the work of predecessors and contemporaries, travel and experience various existing natural environments and study the gardens of masters. I am fortunate to have had such opportunities and would like to share those same experiences with others, beginning with the garden island of Bali, Indonesia.

In Bali, unlike any other place I have visited, the modern art form of gardening combines with a rich traditional culture to create a truly unique blend, resulting in an influential style all its own. The fusion of traditional craftsmanship combines with the influences of the modern, resulting in some of the most extraordinary garden design work and architecture. The use of outdoor living spaces and fluid transitions from interior space to exterior is an example of this small island's impact on the international design community.

Bali truly is a place were East meets West with exceptional results. With the added benefit of being situated in a lush tropical climate, the gardens of Bali seem to come more alive than one would think is even possible. I hope that you will be able to join me for this unique opportunity to explore the culture, art, gardens, architecture, and natural wonders of Bali.
