The yews are the treasure of this garden; they’ve been planted, grown and carefully tended to since the 90s. A large collection of rose bushes, fruit trees and small fruit bushes, a very large old linden tree, a honey locust tree and a silver maple, much younger but already rivalling it, shrubs of all kinds very natural vegetable garden…
The focus is now on local species, adapted to the warm, dry climate of summers here in Châtenois. Thus, amongst the classic perennials, you’ll find numerous flowers typical of our natural environment, which are a delight to behold: yarrows, wood anemones, bugleweed, bellflowers, hawkweed, winter aconites, ground ivy, stonecrops, campions, and more.
You can wander through the garden, from one area to the next, each one surrounded by hornbeam hedges, beeches and, of course, yews, which are so beloved by many birds.
