Jardins De Nouvelle Angleterre

Histoires De Carres > Automne-Hiver 2009

Luxuriant vegetation, between abundance and abandonment, symbolises the meaning of Old England and New, in America: a mixture of wild nature, such as existed before the arrival of the colonists, and a nature discreetly tamed, such as is designed in English gardens. A little idyllic valley with charming painted clapboard cottages appears within a medallion of foliage. The gardens, refined and rustic, mingle native plants, tropical species and flowers from Europe. Sheltered there are several animal species, hummingbirds, squirrels and racoons, fauna and flora intermingling in an atmosphere of tranquil happiness.
