Le Jardin de Sardy, Dordogne

With my new found enthusiasm for gardening and a tough 34oC day in the Bordeaux sun. We could only think of one thing to do on our wee holiday last week. Go to a shady glade and relax.

I thought I’d share some photos as I found the place beautiful. It was a bit pricey at €6 given it is quite small. But it was so interesting I think it was worth it.

The garden entrance was through a courtyard where we had been told to touch all the plants and smell the scent.

There were amazing patchouli plants, lavender, mint, thyme, and others I couldn’t recognise though the smell was intoxicating. We never found the chocolate plant sadly.

After the courtyard you walk down to a copse shaded by a giant hornbeam. At the base of the hornbeam you meet the kindly face of Saint Fiacre with an ivy appropriately curled to his cheek.
