Jardins, Jardin 2018

This was my second time at Jardins, Jardin, the annual horticultural 4-day May event in the Tuileries gardens

What a glorious day. What a glorious event. Plan to attend your next Paris trip in. May SVP.

Immerse yourself in garden decorations and projects like these clever sheds.

Everyone needs a greenhouse. Its supposed to be healthy to hang out with plants.

Hanging out in a bubble/bulle? Not sure that would suit me.

The creme de la creme of garden sheds. Put it on your terrasse. Plus a photographic Paris skyline including the Eiffel tower.

Not a shed, but a facsimile of Chanel's flower gardens in Grasse. A chance to enhale No. 5 and her other scents

Or buy some herbs for your window sill.

I wouldn't mind a divider wall of flower pots in my tiny chambre de bonne...

If you love watering cans too, please raise your hand

I don't know what this is but intriguing none the less.

Supermarche Franprix provided free tomates cerises and nectarines.

You could munch in the many pique-nique areas provided

Chairs supplied by French garden supplier giant, Truffaut.

You could feel the heat in the Tuileries after you left the cool enclave of JARDINS JARDIN.

I got lots of garden goodies to put in the June pique-nique Paris map and letter, once they are done.

I’m Carol Gillott, an artist living in Paris. Every month I send out beautifully illustrated letters that capture the true Parisian experience.
