Le Jardin de la Pellerine
Covering five acres Le Jardin de la Pellerine, which was designated a Jardin Remarquable by the French Ministry of Culture in 2004, is a treat. One of the best parts of the garden, the 'Allee des Quatre Saisons, has a series of small gardens seperated by half height hedges allowing a view of the whole but giving structure and separation to each part. Planted with lots of blue flowering plants the end result is beautiful.
The garden is built around the lovely French farmhouse of the owners, Sylvie and Alain Douinot and includes a yellow garden, an English garden, a blue garden; lilly pond, the four season garden mentioned above and much more.
Key plants used in the garden include Nepeta 'Six Hills Giant' , Monarda 'Scorpion', Veronica longifolia, Hosta 'Sun and Substance' and Stipa gigantea.
