JARDIN DES SENS
This space, which we love very much, was designed to invigorate your senses. It is all at once a vegetable garden, a flower garden, and a place to wander, pause and rest. Everything was decided in collaboration with the owners. It was important to us to create a garden that reflects their image: simple, chic, and sensitive. The old low garden wall has been completely renovated and tastefully frames the space and adds a touch of heritage.
The apple trees have been preserved and enhanced by a gravel path that allows for strolls and apple picking in the fall. The landscaping was given well-defined shapes by choosing plants in strong shades of green, inserting aromatic plants, fresh herbs and vegetable plants, as well as flowering perennials.
Made of high-quality materials, the cast concrete water bassin, covered with Saint-Marc stone, as well as the paving, paths, and steps were custom-made. A discreet fountain, located at the edge of the garden, completes the peaceful ambiance.
This garden is a true living work of art that delights our senses. Shaped like zigzag and resembling of a green sculpture, a path invites you to stroll and discover the richness of the surrounding nature. The well-defined shapes and vibrant shades of green offer a striking contrast that magnifies the biodiversity of this landscape.
This design is both grandiose and full of finesse and simplicity. The challenge was to create a new layout that would blend seamlessly into this ancient garden in a location surrounded by nature while still conveying a timeless appeal.
