France

We are currently in France enjoying a much deserved holiday. We have all had a busy and/or difficult year one way or another so we are hoping that this will be restorative, mind expanding and inspiring. We had a great week in Paris and one of the things I really enjoyed was the gardens. Below the gardens of the Palais Royal.

We were staying a very close walk to the Luxembourg gardens and this was a wonderful place to walk.

There was a lot to do before we left home, a lot of work to finish off for me, and a lot of work to do in the house to make it ready for our housesitter. So of course with this in mind I spent hours in the garden!! I prettied up the veranda

Mulched, weeded, watered, fertilised and pruned....

Did some spring planting......

Repotted a whole lot of Orchids...not this one actually

Bought an outdoor clay fire for the veranda...

Mulched some more...

And more.....
It was great to spend some time in the garden and the weather was beautiful for the few weeks before we left. The house was eventually left in a reasonable state!
