Taking the lead with many of his garden’s countless hundreds of plants, designer Louis Raymond collaborates with Nature to transform horticulture into “hortitecture”—striking shapes of simple architectural geometry that give the garden structure, mystery, whimsy, shelter, and astonishment. And that changes already marvelous plants into coups de théâtre. Drinks in hand, join Louis on a walk-and-talk from one such marvel to the next.
