A visit to Jardins de Cadiot at Carlux...


Our time in the Dordogne is coming to an end, this evening we will need to pack up for an early start tomorrow. 

Luckily, we have time for one more visit. Fortunately, one of our fellow campers, who also has a passion for plants told us about a garden open to the public , not far from the site, Jardins de Cadiot. Ant didn't take too much persuading and off we went.

  We finally found the garden, up in the hills and well worth the drive. 

  The garden is made up of 10 individual gardens, to include an English garden of mixed borders and an geometrical Italian garden of Buxus and conifers. Also a Rose collection of  ancient Roses.

We both really enjoyed the garden, lots of interest with so many varied gardens and such a wide range of plants.
