Author Bio

Paolo Pejrone was born in Turin in 1941. He first learned gardening from his grandmother and from a peasant couple who taught him to grow vegetables, raise chickens, and propagate plants. At 16 he met the celebrated Italian designer Pietro Porcinai who encouraged him to graduate from the Polytechnical School of Turin. In 1970 he met Russell Page who sent him off to visit English gardens. From there, Pejrone went on to Brazil to work with Burle Marx. Pejrone has since created gardens in Germany, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Austria, France and the UK.
