Froidefonde's garden

It's nice to have friends in the country
Especially when these love nature, flowers, and culture their friends and their environment. We are lucky to have Dominic and Gisele. In a recent visit to the Froidefondea, Dominic took me around the property, situated in the rural outskirts of Mareuil-sur-Arnon a medium size tributary of the Cher river in Dept 18 (Cher) in central France.


For every geometry, plants can help design a new composition

Organic, old-time, fresh tomatoes, a neighbor's present...

Looks pretty, but they are actually Spanish beans...and delicious

These not only look good, but keep some insects out of the way

Color  and  Texture added to the landscape

Dominic and family find and transform nature into art... is he a 'Berrichon' version of Brazilian Franz Krajcberg (http://www.frans-krajcberg.com/fkmanifeste.html)

Rock plants for rock walls...




A horse's head...
