Tourlaville

An exquisite setting in the middle of town

From flower bed to vegetable patch to orchard, all the needs of a town garden beautifully orchestrated and met.  At the foot of 4 enormous eucalyptus trees, exuberant flowerbeds consisting of perennials, old roses and a variety of shrubs compete with each other for the pleasure of your senses.

In front of the south facing deck, Mediterranean and Australian plants have naturalised a gorgeous gravel garden (agaves, cistus, agapanthus, grasses …)  Perennials and bushes chosen to flower non stop all year round grow in a generous layer of an interesting variety of mulches.
