French Gardens to visit in North West France
Wonderful gardening country with a fairly high rainfall and temperatures that tend not to get as scorching as the South. Some of France's best gardens are in this region. Don' t miss Les Jardins de Kerdalo, Le Clos du Coudray, La Petite Rochelle, Les Jardins de Castillon or one of my personal favourites - Le Jardin Plume which mixes formal box edging with a fabulous mix of grasses and colourful perennials within the box shapes. For fans of Japanese gardens there is also the wonderful Parc Oriental de Maulevrier.
