Bonjour everyone,

Our latest video is live, and this time we’re taking you on a proper tour of the gardens to show you how much progress we’ve made since the last update. It’s been a busy few weeks out there, and things are really starting to take shape, so grab a cuppa and come have a wander with us!

​

🌸 The front garden

Earlier this year, we planted the yew hedges, and they have been thriving since. They now frame two neat borders and bring some much-needed structure to the space. The idea is to fill those borders with a mix of perennials and ornamental grasses, creating layers of movement and texture that will contrast beautifully with the formal lines of the hedges.

Looking further ahead, we’re planning to replace the current paths with gravel, which should soften the look and make the space feel a bit more timeless.

🌻 The back garden

This is where the real transformation has happened. What was once a bit of a dumping ground is now starting to feel like an actual garden. First, we cleared away all the rubble and then added wood cladding along the back to hide a rather unattractive wall. That simple change has really helped frame the space and make it feel more intentional.

We also built a stone terrace, which is already a favourite spot for morning coffees, and installed six raised beds, now bursting with flowers. It’s amazing how quickly they’ve brought colour and life into the garden.

Next on the list: sowing grass to properly green up the space, and I’m dreaming about adding a potting table at the back — a small touch that will make gardening here even more enjoyable.

🎥 Watch the new video here and see all the changes for yourself. We hope you love this chapter of the renovation as much as we do.

À bientôt,

Hugo & Romy
