Olivier Filippi

Olivier Filippi is a French nurseryman who specialises in dry region plants. Over 25 years, his pioneering plant research has taken him all over the world (California, South Africa, Chile, Australia) and led to a palette of plantsthat thrive for months without rain and look good in the process. His first book The Dry Garden Handbook published by Thames & Hudson turned him into an international celebrity, particularly among American dry region gardeners who find his plants and techniques well attuned to their conditions.
