🌿 New project : Adapting to a disability

december 2nd, 2024

I’ve started a very interesting landscape project where my love for garden design and my pragmatical side are put to the service of adapting this garden in Bordeaux.

From the modification of the pool to make it accessible but also safe to the design of adapted planters, all topics become areas for improvement so that my client can get back to loving gardening from her wheelchair!

Planned for 2025

🌿 New project in Le Bassin d’Arcachon

november 4th, 2024

This garden hidden behind a forest will be set up without using any lawn.

The main idea I gave to this space is to connect all corners of the garden, whether it’s the pool, the patio, the corner of the boulodrome or access from the driveway…while creating privacy and comfort for everyone.

Set out this winter!

🌿 Garden visit, 2 years after completion

october 7th, 2024

Two years after the completion of this beautiful garden in the south of the Gironde, I am very happy to see its beautiful evolution.

This local brick path matches with the colours of the neighbour’s house.

The plants in this photo are Erigerons, Viburnum tinus, and further on, myrtles.

Bravo to the gardener who maintains this green space every week.

One of the largest bed next door will be reviewed this winter…next step to follow!

🌿 End of a project on the Arcachon Bay

SEPTEMBER 2nd, 2024

After two months of work and a few weeks of growth for the lawn and plants, here is a picture that sums up this seaside garden.

The lawn will be drought-resistant and will require about 5 times less water than a conventional lawn, and the planting, once well established, will require only little water and in a few years, no more automatic watering except for long heat waves.

Thanks to the clients and the architect for their trust.

The autumn is full of beautiful projects in Bordeaux and its surroundings, some gardens are getting ready for total revamp!

New building site on the Arcachon Bay

JuLY 2nd, 2024

This particular garden within walking distance to the seaside stands out for the strong choice made for the house painted in black.

The bright colors of the plants will be highlighted by the contrast with black.

I finished the design work a few months ago and the project started a month ago.

The road and fencing work are completed : Planting work is on the way!

🌿 Work completed

June 1st, 2024

After a few months of construction work, this vineyard is also a place of reception and visit.

Finally finished, we can see the lawn taking shapes and giving life to all the shapes I drew about a year ago.

Wishing the best to this garden!

🌿 Today I am 7 years old! The age of reason? 🌷

February 1st, 2024

I created Centaurea Design with the desire to combine my first life as an agricultural engineer (Thank you Bordeaux Agro Sup) and my new life as a landscape designer (thank you London College of Garden Design) to give shape to gardens WELL ALIVE where nature is really welcome.

I’m starting this eighth year with lots of ideas and exciting projects! 💪.
