Pellinec... "it's an extraordinary garden..."
A long time ago, Charles Trenet sang "it's an extraordinary garden..."
"It's an extraordinary garden.
There are ducks that speak English
I give them bread, they move their butts
By saying to myself: "Thank you, very much Mr. Trenet"...
Pellinec, that's right! Of course, it is unusual because it is unique, but far beyond that, it is extraordinary...
Labelled "Outstanding Garden" since 2012 by the Ministry of Culture, Pellinec is a botanical delight, with more than 2,000 plant species from all five continents, including Southern Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Chile, Japan, China and the Himalayas.
But that's not all!
On 7 hectares, it is organized into 5 gardens, plus the Himalayan Alley, and the Magnolias meadow....
Pellinec in 5 gardens....
Let's listen to their designer (excerpt from the site):
« I started drawing this garden in 1997. In 20 years, I have planted about 20,000 plants there. More than 2450 varieties are listed. I drew the different gardens one after the other. First, the exotic garden, begun in 1997, then the English garden, in 1999, the water lily pond, in 2000, and the Japanese iris garden in 2001. In 2004, I created the Southern Garden, and in 2009 the Himalayan Alley, as well as the Magnolia Prairie ».
Long reflection and multiple drawings, before starting!
But that's not all!
Harmony....
Pellinec's Garden is harmony.
Indeed, beyond the numbers of plants or species, the most important thing is undoubtedly the harmony of shapes and colours, the carefully thought-out compositions. « I work every day in my garden, essentially striving to achieve my assemblies of colours, graphics, compositions, moods and rhythms. The constant search for beauty and harmony motivates me to do this gigantic task »
So, be careful with the opening hours, and go ahead...
