How to grow your Herbs in Style




Just one more post from the Loire Valley before I will return to Provence: until now I thought I was doing pretty well with my "potager" (kitchen garden), but that was before I went to Villandry. The formal garden of this lovely Castle is designed with salads (photo above), herbs, and fruit bushes.
And this is how it looks when you grow your parsley in style!

  2. I have seen this garden and I was equally impressed. Almost too beautiful to use the herbs.

  3. Thank you Linda and Susan! In June when they replant the garden, they give all the salads and herbs to the lucky visitors who come to see the garden....
