Indeed the Grosbois family (the aptly named) acquired these few hectares on the banks of the Musson (or Marcusson) in Cherveux a few years ago to plant the garden that had been growing in Maman Grosbois’ imagination for a few years already. A garden in which one can come today to rest near the small fountain, or elsewhere under the tall trees. We had to fight against the brambles, clear the trees and shrubs, think of a route full of poetry and choose the best combinations so that we hardly have to water.
Emmanuel is happy, in these hot weather, to see that the choice to keep tall grass, especially at the foot of the trees, is proving to be a water-saving solution.
Do you know that between a paved driveway, a grass driveway and a fortiori a driveway of tall grass, there can be a difference of 30°?
In the Grosbois family, Emmanuel the son, scrutinizes the water level, for the moment everything is fine.
Do you know that you always have to have plantain close to home?
This very simple, very green little plant, whose leaves carpet the ground and which we have come across a thousand times along our paths, has soothing properties in case of mosquito bites for example.
Take the walk with us again in the A Fleur d’Eau garden in Cherveux (79), listen to Emmanuel Grosbois’ explanations.
