Histoire de Sens - A Gardener's Delight!

Old Chair

I discovered a secret garden last week.

Histoire de Sens is a delightful little plant, flower and garden ornament and decoration shop in a cottage tucked behind the owner's house.

As soon as you walk through the gate and under the weathered, wrought iron rose trellis, you enter a tranquil, sun dappled paradise. The most beautiful succulents, apple trees, roses, hydrangeas, and many, many I can't name. Outdoor "rooms" are scattered about, and I wanted to move in straight away.
I am not a gardener, but I covet this one!

Hats off to Nathalie Guilbert and her husband. I hope their little shop is a great success!

It is! It made me wish I enjoyed gardening more. :)

Dvora
If that is true, then you would love living in Normandy!
