A great selection of perfumed plants can be found in our garden,
and if you touch the foliage of some aromatic plants

The plants are presented using different themes.
Do you like the freshness (or drabness to some) of a white and green garden?
Or do you perhaps prefer a productive garden like a vegetable or an herb garden?

Perhaps you should be prepared to take some notes, as you will probably discover many plants that you have never heard of,
be inspired by plant associations, planting distances and different mulching methods, according to your personal preferences.
We do not believe in good or bad taste, only that you must feel happy and relaxed in your own garden.

There might even be some surprised when seeing plants we usually dismiss perfectly integrated into a border, the whole picture succeeding to seduce.

A garden may shelter food and aromatic plants, vegetables, fruits, and offer herb tea plants for our good health, and it may help us discover the joy of gardening, provide tranquillity and rest as well as the company of birds.

The garden is home two gentil donkeys and for african, australian, southamerican and asiatic Parrots.
If you are interested of parrots, please go to the french version, which is much longer. Parrots pages

The plants that you will discover are well adapted to the region: where soils are calcareous and there is plenty of sun and droughts are common in summer, whereas in the winter the wind can be strong and icy, with brief frost to minus 10°C; sometimes we could switch several times in the same day from swimming suit to raincoat.

Some perennial plants are available in the greenhouse; a small amount in cups can be shipped by Express.
