   the rose garden

 Description of the garden:

The garden ( size :  2200 m² )was created by the owners themselves and was laid out step by step : an ornamental kitchen garden, a herb garden and a rose garden, each of them fenced in by box hedges in different patterns, two small ponds, herbaceous borders with a rich variety of plants, cosy seats and shelters next to antique ornaments, a front garden with a diamond-shaped centre-piece... Various climbers (rambling rose, clematis, hydrangea) cling to the walls and other supports. A dovecote and a fairy-like garden shed are half-hidden away in the back-garden. Some areas are enclosed by yew or beech hedges, and all around the garden there’s a sturdy wall of privet.

The outdoor pottery and flower boxes on the window sills are arranged in ever-changing and eye-catching combinations depending on the season.
