Rendez-vous aux jardins 2014 - Cairnhill

By  Joss Burke 2014
The creation of the garden Cairnhill is a long term project which was started in 2009. Cairnhill is situated in the rural surroundings in the south Charente area of France. It contains a orchard of grafted fruit trees of old varieties specific to the region and is a designated refuge for birds and wildlife under the Ligue pour la Protection des Oiseaux. The garden was opened to the public for the first time in 2014 with the inaugural exhibition including artists from both the UK and France.
