The owner, distressed by the sad state of his overgrown garden, wanted to bring it back to life and beautify his property. So he called on our services and gave us carte blanche.
As the project took place in a confined space, the garden was created in his absence.
It was a surprise and a real pleasure for him to discover his new garden on his return.

Right at the entrance, the reception garden with its curved and opposing stone walls offers a first glimpse of the garden without revealing its size or extent.
The gap that divides the wall in two invites you to take different paths: towards an orchard, a kiosk surrounded by chamaerops and overgrown with fragrant jasmine, or towards an avenue of carob trees that allows you to vary your enjoyment by changing the route as you wish.
On the right, the driveway is bordered on one side by coconuts and grasses and on the other by an avenue of olive trees that winds through shrubs forming a first horizontal layer.
The various ground movements are dotted with grasses, interspersed with cacti, euphorbias and phoenixes.
To recall the spirit of the palm grove, numerous clusters of date palms surround the house, providing shelter and inviting themselves into the garden from time to time.
For a while, the lush greenery in the foreground overshadows the secondary gardens with their flowers and graphics, before offering a break in a Japanese-inspired bamboo garden with its water wall and mineral furniture, ideal for relaxing and meditating.
A romantic touch is provided by the pond with its island, which is accessible via a small bridge and invites contemplation. On the islet, the arbour, where you can have lunch, offers a stopover with a view of the garden and its many facets.
