Gardens in France > > Jardin aux Plantes la Bouichere
Le Jardin aux plantes la Bouichere is a garden which specialises in scent. There is a 2.5km walk bordered by scented plants, shrubs and trees. There are more than a thousand scented plants in the garden. If, like me, you are trying to fill your garden with more scented plants, this is the garden to come to for ideas and inspiration.
There are a whole range of different themed gardens here including a rose garden, a grasses garden, a conifer garden and a dry garden.
As well as exploring the garden there is a lot of information of the use of plants across the world and in days gone by.
There are also various colour-themed gardens.
For those with the time (and ability to speak French) there are also workshops teaching various gardening techniques.
