Comme chaque année, l'Association des Journalistes du Jardin et de l'Horticulture met en avant des jardins à découvrir lors de vos pérégrinations touristiques. Ce jour, trois jardins ont ainsi été sous les feux de la rampe: Prix du jardin de l'année: Le jardin de la Ferme du Mont des Récollets, 8 rue Saint-Nicolas, 59670 Cassel, dans le Nord.
Voilà un jardin typique des Flandres, inspiré par les peintres flamands. Ses propriétaires y jouent donc des clairs-obscurs dans une quinzaine de chambres de verdure: chambre des fruits, des berlingots, des roses, des broderies... Chacune est fleurie de milliers de bulbes de printemps puis diversement colorée de touches de fleurs au fil des saisons. Ce grand jardin ouvert sur le paysage raconte une histoire régionale sur un mode poétique et contemporain.Emmanuel de Quillacq et Bruno Caron y ont à cœur de faire aimer ce paysage flamand et, à l'occasion, vous faire goûter les spécialités gastronomiques régionales de leur estaminet.

Each Little World: June 2010. When we broke ground for our current garden Mark and I were both 50 years old. We're now in year 13 of our ten-year plan. You do the math. There's the teahouse to be finished, fences as yet unbuilt (and undesigned), as well as areas still unplanted and unplanned. Suddenly we're finding garden maintenance eating up the time and energy we need to complete the framework of our garden. As a gardener, age brings wisdom, experience and big trees. Like Eddison's previous books, "Gardening for a Lifetime" is emminently readable and useful. The second thing I especially liked about the book is that there are no color pictures to distract you or make you feel inadequate. Sydney Eddison's container garden on her terrace.
I've read (and own) most of Eddison's books. Eddison was my garden mentor in absentia. One reason Sydney Eddison's garden is labor intensive: not only does she change the planting scheme and colors for her container garden each year, she also repaints the furniture. Each Little World. I am always surprised when visitors to our garden ask the identity of the big tree that hovers over our deck (and house). It's a mature Honey Locust that was planted when our house was built in 1954. I'm not sure of the reason for their surprise and delight, but it does seem to suggest that most folks don't let their locusts get this big. Before we began our garden we had this tree pruned and we talked to the arborist about where we could safely put our pond as well as how to protect this important tree during garden construction.
That was in 1996-7, and neither Mark nor I are sure if we've had the Locust pruned since then. These trees tend to shade out their lower branches which then die and can come down in a storm. Peter and his team arrived on Monday morning, March 31. While Peter and my husband, Mark, talked about what to cut out of the tree, the guys brought their tools and safety equipment into the back garden. Trimmings are starting to pile up underneath the tree. Solrum trädgård.
