March 15 – Amazing Gardenscape Open to the Public!

nPosted on March 15, 2019

nWould you like to see more than 150,000 boxwood trees cut into geometric forms?

n

n

nChâteau de Marqueyssac in France has some pretty fantastic topiary gardens that were first planted in the mid-1800s. Julien de Cerval loved Italy and built his château and gardens with his memories of that country as his guide.

n

nThe gardens and château changed owners and fell into disrepair and then, in 1996, were restored and opened to the public. Today is the anniversary of that opening.

n

n

nWow, huh?

nIn the winter, at times it looks like this:
