Tolkien.

Well, now that 'The Hobbit' has been mentioned, I cannot help myself but take a tangent into Middle-Earth. As a young boy, its scenery utterly captured my imagination; ever since, I have gazed across landscapes expecting- and feeling- magic. Indeed, when I'm out walking or in the garden, I swiftly put on Howard Shore's soundtrack. Above, we see a piece of concept art by Paul Lasaine depicting Lothlorien.

There is no doubt that the visions of Tolkien have inspired my love of gardens, and what I wish to see in them.
