\r\n It all begin in the Parc de Saint Cloud<\/strong>, at the foot of the Trocadero gardens near Paris. The park\u2019s sinuous alleys, thickets, ornamental ponds and aviary were my playground during and after school. The park was created for the \u201cchildren of France\u201d \u2013 nephew and niece of the King \u2013 during the reign of Louis XVIII and Charles X and holds a rich and diverse collection of botanical delights.\r\n\r\nThe splendid shaded greenhouse and sunny terrace were memories of another life in Africa. There was also the bamboo garden, her memory of Asia, where she had lived for a time.\r\n\r\nFinally, my adolescence<\/strong>, spent in the gardens of Surrey, Great Britain.\r\n\r\nThis manor has been my home for 27 years.<\/strong>\r\nA garden, for me, begins with its buildings and moves outward thoughtfully and with feelings. So, I started by working on the house.\r\nGiving me time to observe the nature,\r\ntime to welcome my three children into the world,\r\ntime also to take inspiration from all that existed around my home and elsewhere. <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n<\/section><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\r\n At first<\/strong>, I bought fruit trees, English rose bushes and perennials and I planted them around the manor.\r\n\r\nAware that I still had a lot to learn, I took courses on botany, gardening and the history of gardening.\r\n\r\nSome villagers gave me a nineteenth-century monograph, which allowed us to recreate a small stately home in line with the last terrier.\r\n\r\nWe have slowly but surely recreated this connection \u2013 which I hold so dear<\/strong> \u2013 between the building and plants. <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n<\/section><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\r\n We have worked hard to preserve the area\u2019s food-producing heritage. We laid out the gardens, diversified the crops and planted ancient varieties.\r\n\r\nToday, Domaine de Poulaines is much more than a garden: it’s an arboretum<\/em>, an orchard and a botanical garden.\r\n\r\nDomaine de Poulaines is a haven of biodiversity and a botanical conservatory that is home to more than 300 species to delight our visitors.\r\n
