The house is surrounded by flowerbeds crammed with perennials, annuals and shrubs which Pierre Grandin has collected and planted since 1978. Abundant hydrangeas, elegantly arched dieramas flourish among a generous selection of ground covers which encircle the trees and shrubs in the garden…

Look out for some quirky details like the mini garden of slates and stones and succulents decorating a twisted old tree trunk.  At the top of the garden a young, mainly indigenous forest of 6 acres, planted in 1996 thrives. All pest control is exclusively organic.
