PROVENCAL GARDENS: THE ART OF OUTDOOR LIVING
Sun, aromatic herbs, lifestyle... The provençal garden reflects a unique, warm and timeless way of life. It requires little maintenance, perfect for anyone wanting to turn their outdoors space into a natural and welcoming retreat.
Designing a Provençal garden means bringing the South to your home. It's a way to create a beautiful, fragrant, low-mainenance outdoor space, perfect for relaxing or sharing good times. A lovely way to reconnect with nature...and enjoy the lifestyle in Provence.
What plants to choose?
The Provençal garden is all about resistant plants and fragrant smells. Here are some must-haves :
• Olive trees, tall cypresses, fig trees,...
• Thyme, lavender, rosemary, sage,...
• Aganpanthus, santolina, geraniums or bougainvillea,...
An authentic and harmonious layout
When it comes to materials, we find natural stone, terracotta, rax wood and wrought iron.
Gravel paths, stone walls with antique jars as decoration, and shaded terraces with fountains create charming dining and relaxation areas, perfect for enjoying the warmth of Provence.
Mediterranean or Provençal garden?
The Mediterranean garden is inspired by the landscapes of southern France, Italy, Spain or Greece. It features plants that withstand heat, mineral elements like stones and gravel.
The Provençal garden is more local, more rustic, with stone walls, soft colours, aromatic herbs. It's full of charm and reminds us of sunny farmhouses and naps in the shade of olive trees.
