Olivier Filippi, Plantsman, Pépinière Filippi, France
The beauty of mediterranean landscapes are the result of long histories of disturbance and stress from fire, overgrazing, erosion, wind, salt and drought. Learning to value and appreciate the natural evolution of garrigue or abandoned agroforestry landscapes is instructive for gardeners faced with difficult conditions where trees and shrubs are slow growing, and traditional lawns impossible. Olivier Filippi will translate the dynamics and unique aesthetics of these eco-systems into maintenance and planting techniques that aim to modulate the trajectory of evolution in public and private gardens to lead to plantings that are drought resistant, low maintenance and pesticide free.

Thank you for posting this interesting talk. We have a second home in Collioure, France and find the garden a massive challenge. Having already bought Olivier Filippi's "The Dry Gardening Handbook" recently and now having learnt a little about allelopathy from his talk, I feel a visit to his nursery in Loupian coming on!

The term 'low maintenance' has become a swear word. These days 'low maintenace' translates to 'no soul'. I imagine maintaining a Mediterranean garden would very therapeutic.

Filippi has always been so wrong on so many things. Something like "we don't want artists, we want ecologists" For this kind of statement alone he should be kicked out of the conference. I don't even go into his wrong assumptions in his books. He's not a researcher, he has always been just guessing.

Not sure if you have a valid point or you are just a troll. Could you expand and make a valid critique?
