Provence is one of the southern regions of France. It’s a Mediterranean world of sunshine, bright flowers, grapes and fragrant herbs. This area has its own style and its own unique aroma from a mixture of lavender, spicy herbs and floral scents.
Whoever has been to Provence at least once, wants to recreate a piece of this charming land in his garden. And it’s not as hard as it may seem at first glance. And let our climate is not so warm and mild, and the sun is not so bright and hot, a small Provencal corner in our garden we can still create.
You just need to choose the right plants, and those that can not withstand our winters, use in a cage culture, removing for the winter in a cool place. This is not inconsistent with the Provencal style, as it makes extensive use of canopy crops.
This is the kind of flower bed that can decorate your garden.
