It's not hard to imagine how much work it takes to maintain a garden like this. The Château de Villandry has an amazing crew of professionals working on this one each day. I've seen stories about their work on television and I've walked through the garden several times over the years. It changes from year to year, but never fails to impress.

It's chilly this morning but clear, except for some fog hanging low over the river. We're expecting to get up to 14ºC (57ºF) this afternoon, then up to 18ºC (64ºF) on Tuesday and Wednesday. Wow!
What an amazing garden to tend. I love the filled hedges. We have rain!
ReplyDeleteThose boxwoods are really manicured! Would you believe they sell artificial boxwood?
