Le Jardin des Paradis

When I grow up and have a proper garden with no dogs digging or moles making hills I want a garden with many features like this the garden of paradise at Cordes-sur-ciel in the Tarn about 30 minutes drive from us.

It was the second holiday in May today, in commemoration of the second world war ending, a dry warmish, partly cloudy with bits of sun now and again day. This morning was spent working packing sausages, the normal animal care and then farmer J milling cereal and I cutting the weeds and grass that's growing at an alarming rate under the pigs electric fencing.

We took the afternoon off heading out to Cordes to visit the Jardin des Paradis, we visited a few years ago towards the end of the season when it was quiet. Today, being the school holidays and VE day it was busier but still nice to walk around and get ideas of what I would like in a garden or maybe a veggie patch, something like this maybe?

But what I really, really would like is something like this (please).Of course I would never get any work done but a  lot of reading and pondering.
