Jardins de Bellevue
The Jardins de Bellevue are one of my absolute favorite types of gardens. The gardens are meandering and well thought out woodland gardens, which feature a lot of rare and stunning perennials, shrubs and trees. In addition to that they are set in a beautiful landscape that they make the most of. In the first picture probably a Halesia carolina. Xanthoceras sorbifolium, this might have been the first time I even heard of this tree… One of the paths Magnolia sinensis Rosa cantabrigiensis Trillium grandiflorum ‘Flore Pleno’ And so much else, I’ve just decided to stick to around 5 pictures per French garden, otherwise I would not get anything else…

Les Jardins Agapanthe
The gardens of Agapanthe are the creation of garden designer and nurseryman Alexandre Thomas. The design and planting is quite interesting, both bold and lush. What makes the gardens a bit unusual is that they are situated on both sides of a road. The house that is seen in the picture belongs to Alexandre’s parents and the gardens in the foreground belong to Alexandre. The gardens around Alexandre’s parents are 20 years old, but the newer part is just a few years old. Brunnera macrophylla ‘Jack Frost’ The newer part The newer part of the garden has got quite a running start with some very large plants!

Back in October
It’s most certainly one of the dullest times of the year in terms of gardening. The grasses in my new border look a bit interesting and the Nandina domestica still has all it’s leaves, but otherwise, it’s quite dreary and most of time it’s dark! Still, a few weeks ago there were a few highlights, these are some of them: In the first picture a Forsythia. Clematis ‘Anita’ Nandina domestica The last flower of my Lilium speciosum
