Graphic gardens...

 Art and architecture collective Legge Lewis Legge have come up with this amazing opportunity to shape contemporary gardens. Named "Fractal Garden", the project aims at constructing contemporary gardens by bringing together several diamond-shaped planters. Supported by wheels, these intriguing quadrilateral polygons expose a world of modern garden customization challenging you to express your love for geometry and nature. And to really confuse your friends - so tempting to change the layout everyday and when they question it, tell them they're going mad.

Topiary trumps...

If foliage frolicking is high on your holiday wish list, then, if you haven't already, acquaint yourself with the Hanging Gardens of Marqueyssac. Laid out on a cliff overlooking the Dordogne valley between Beynac and La Roque-Gageac, the Marqueyssac gardens cover an area of ​​22 hectares. There are over 150,000 hand carved century-old box-trees and adorned with belvederes, rocks, water, grass glades, dry-stone huts, roundabout, a Gothic chapel, and playgrounds for children.

The area is full of treasures like this, and if you like your hedges a little more boxy, as I tend to, then there are gardens at the Manoir d'Eyrignac.
