Antique Glasshouse

We came across this wonderful glasshouse on our visit to Le Pouthet. So many have been allowed to fall into disrepair but this one has fortunately survived.

Jardin de Beauchamp

We have discovered a very good garden and nursery in nearby Lot et Garonne called the Jardin de Beauchamp. Loosely based on an oriental  design it was a wonderfully peaceful way to spend an autumn afternoon.

Sardy

Yesterday was spent firstly wandering through the rose garden of Boissonna followed by an afternoon enjoying the delights of Sardy. With the recent rain the gardens are once more green and colourful.

Jardin d’Eyringnac

Another glorious sunny day. This time the garden tour visited Sarlat before heading off to spend the afternoon at the fabulous garden of Eyringnac.

Latour-Marliac

Our Garden Tour guests loved Latour-Marliac so much they spent most of the afternoon there and were very reluctant to have to leave. The water lilies looked beautiful.

A Gabarre Trip

Our guests are off on a trip down the Dordogne on a ‘Gabarre’ this afternoon. Gabarres were once  the means of transporting wine to Bordeaux for export. It’s a wonderfully leisurely way to enjoy the Dodogne valleyand look up to see the troglodyte caves and chateaux along the route.

Buxus

We have arrived at the time of year when the buxus plant comes into its own. After a long dry summer the flower gaden is looking somewhat faded but the buxus still looks good. It gives shape and form to the garden and is also one of the plant species that do very well here. The photo is from the Jardin de Beauchamps.

Autumn Mists

Autumn seems to have come with a rush and the damp weather has helped create the most beautiful scene over our fields.

Jardin d’Eyrignac

This one of the garden rooms at Jardin d’Eyrignac. The scent was wonderful and the view out across the valley fantastic.

Gateway to Fenelon

There is something magical about entering through an impressive gateway…it’s a if time goes in reverse and you’re back in history. Fenelon is definitely one of my favourite chateaux in the Dordogne.
