France's Elysee Palace
Home to the president of the French Republic, the Elysee Palace comprises more than 350 rooms over 15,000 square metres, from the famous Cour d’Honneur in the north end and 2 hectares of garden in the south. It is a powerful symbol of the republic, but that wasn’t always its destiny. VIDEOGRAPHIC
A Triptyque of English Gardens
Three English gardens, three locations, three owners. What links them all is, perhaps, the term voluptuousness. It is that distinctly English style of soft, loose, overflowing, informal verdancy helped by an English climate.
It is not a style easily understood by Continental gardeners, particularly Dutch, French and Italians who are more used to stiffer, controlled, formal gardens or where aboretums of trees are planted in strict grids of formation. Gardens which seem almost to be in a constant battle of control between nature and their owners.
These English gardens instead give the appearance of being much more at ease with nature, where if a plant self seeds it is allowed its chance to prosper. As Julian Bannerman so aptly puts it hurrah for nettles. Nature won.
Gardens can provide an oasis, a sanctuary for creativity, for peace, for contemplation. In the words of Anna Pavord in an increasingly hostile outside world, gardens offer us the opportunity to create the sort of world we wish to live in.
