Bonjour! The autumn plantings at Jardin du Luxembourg are always stunning but this year they are more vibrant and intricate than ever. The bright magentas, yellows and oranges are perfectly framed by the first golden leaves on the trees.
Imagine the thousands of man hours required to plan, grow and install the dozens of large beds throughout the garden! A massive array of dedicated greenhouses are in continuous operation throughout the year to make these magnificent displays possible.
Whenever I see any of the gardeners working here, I always speak to them and thank them for the beauty they create for tens of thousands of residents and visitors to enjoy.
To be honest, the very hot colors usually favored by the French for their gardens are not my preferred palettes but it’s impossible not to be impressed and appreciative of what they achieve.
Here is a video that shows some of the planning behind the scenes of these seasonal gardens.
Like a proper Parisian flâneur, I’m out and about every day and will be bringing more of the seasonal delights to you.
Love,
G

We loved visiting these gardens and sitting on the green seats, next to the lake and enjoying all the beauty.
Thanks again for sharing your Paris life.
