Gardens of Provence, France
June 21, 2009
Oo la la …When in France, visit the petit jardin in the courtyard of the Musee du Vieil Aix, 17 rue Gaston de Saporta, Aix-en-Provence, France. The garden is a tiny treasure maintained by a group of dedicated volunteers. I’ve worked with the local volunteer gardeners for a few years – trying to create an inspired garden space.
The museum garden offers many challenges. It is viewed from the windows of the museum on all levels, the weather is harsh – with periods of drought, heavy rain, intense heat and sun and funds for plant material and garden maintenance are limited.
