I am also wondering how many employee's they have to keep up that surreal landscape.<br />I can't imagine staying there and waking up to that morning walk. What a pool and the hedges are wonderful.

Thank you so very much for sharing it with us. I have definitely been inspired by these images. <br /><br />(By the way, I totally agree with you about the yew hedge in my garden. I think it would set off the other flowers and trees beautifully!

To be greeting with yet another moving, visual masterpiece is wonderful. Eyrignac is a place that seems to only appear in dreams. For us Americans it's hard to imagine those grounds being in the family and maintained by them for 500 years. I would love to stay there and lounge by that remarkable pool & take in all the mastery of the grounds. What tender memories you must have of you and your parents spending time there? Hope all is very well at work and at play? Are you not going home for a holiday soon? <br />xxDumbwit Tellherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18148671166061931241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6478044692546631790.post-30620022966485697042010-06-13T13:18:47.938-04:002010-06-13T13:18:47.938-04:00Dear Francine,

I love the formality and the use of just green, My own garden is a bit of a mixture as I also love an herbaceous border, but with subtle colours. Thank you for showing us these wonderful gardens and, I think that the books would make fabulous birthday and Christmas presents. I am making a note of all of them.
