A Tranquil Garden in Châteauneuf de Grasse
In the idyllic hills of Châteauneuf de Grasse, just a stone’s throw from the sparkling Mediterranean coastline, lies a newly designed garden that captures the serene beauty of Provence.
This project, nestled in one of the Côte d'Azur's most picturesque regions, is a modern reflection of the area’s rich natural charm and Mediterranean warmth. It combines the simplicity of native plants with refined touches, creating a space that feels both timeless and effortlessly elegant.
Inspired by Nature’s Palette
The garden is designed to evoke the essence of Provence. Olive trees stand gracefully among fragrant lavender, thyme, and rosemary, filling the air with a subtle perfume. Every plant was carefully chosen to not only thrive in the warm, dry climate but also to blend seamlessly into the surrounding landscape, giving the garden an organic, naturally flowing feel.
The use of native, drought-resistant plants ensures minimal water usage while providing year-round interest.
Lavender and jasmine bloom around stone walkways, softening the edges and drawing the eye toward the valley beyond. The garden’s layout feels effortless yet intentional, guiding visitors from shaded sitting areas to sun-soaked terraces, all while celebrating the natural beauty of the Côte d'Azur.
A Space for Outdoor Living
In typical Provençal fashion, the garden is not just for viewing but for living. A spacious terrace, framed by white roses and aromatic plants, provides the perfect setting for al fresco dining. From here, the view stretches across the hills of the Alpes-Maritimes, offering a sense of peaceful seclusion and connection to the wider landscape. The stone terraces, built using locally sourced materials, add a rustic elegance that complements the home’s architecture.
A Garden for All Seasons
The garden’s design prioritizes sustainability and resilience. Native plants such as lavender, rosemary, and wild grasses not only enhance the sensory experience but also thrive with minimal care, making the garden an easy and environmentally friendly space to maintain. This approach ensures that the garden remains lush and vibrant throughout the year, offering a place of quiet retreat even in the cooler months.
This Châteauneuf de Grasse garden is a true celebration of the natural beauty and laid-back luxury of Provence. It’s a space where every detail, from the stone paths to the olive trees, invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and enjoy the magic of the Côte d'Azur.
