Taking advantage of a lull and drier weather, I walked around Paris to discover the works of Art installed in different sites for Art Basel Paris. The garden of the Palais Royal (Paris 1st) hosts several and this gave me the opportunity to admire the last flowerings still present in this very busy square.
The plantations are made up of rose bushes and perennial plants, notably asters, Japanese anemones and gauras which are very flowery at this time of year when many parks and gardens have lost their summer floral decorations torn up to make way for seasonal plants that will flower in spring.
This year, the plants did not lack water, quite the contrary. The lawn forms a pretty green carpet, bordered by these opulent flowerbeds which evolve with the seasons.
Japanese anemones with single white flowers are particularly generous. A beautiful, chic and refined flowering.
In 1992, the landscaper John Mark Rudkin designed the two new “green rooms”, in the form of two lawns, bordered by flower beds. The gates that close them are covered with climbing plants, such as ivy and honeysuckle.
A lovely mix of a French garden designed in particular by André le Nôtre in 1674 and more contemporary flowerbeds, recalling the style of mixed borders of many English gardens.
