the

persons

A
large
selection of perfumed plants can be found in our garden ,
and if you touch the foliage of some aromatic plants
or them of patchouli, its scent will linger with you around
the whole garden.

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.

An
Aviairy in the garden is home for african,
australian, southamerican and asiatic Parrots.
Come
and say hello to our birds.
If
you are interested of parrots, please go to the
french version, which is much longer.
You
can enjoy the photos,
and if you understand à bit french, you can
find lots of ideas.

The plants that you
will discover at La Bouichère 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.
If we do not stock the plant you are looking for we would be
happy to provide addresses where you might find
them.
