Album: My Dordogne Garden, before and after

00000000000000000000000000038348I bought this house in January 2021, downsized from a big old farmhouse with a very big garden, also in Dordogne. I had been there over 30 years, our family home. It was getting to be a burden. The garden here was a large rectangle, with a side bit, of grass near the house, an orchard, fenced off vegetable area and a hay meadow that the farmer cuts - so pretty big but still a lot smaller than the last one. The house is a lot smaller than the old one.

    That is a lot of land that you have, and so much work. It looks lovely.

    I've made a new mixed bed with roses, shrubs, an amelanchier and perennials and I've been making a bed around the gazebo that OH gave me for my birthday in September, climbing and bush roses and perennials.
