Landscape inspiration: the wall!

Landscape inspiration

Walls and facades are important surfaces and supports for adding the green touch that rural villages need and deserve. 

The range of plants used should be in keeping with the local architecture, limestone and clay tiles. The configuration and size of the streets mean that planting is limited to small spaces, with climbing and prostrate plants. The quick-reading plant compositions and combinations are sober and evocative of the rural garden, simple, fresh and full of flowers. 

The range of plants chosen plays on the plasticity, shimmering forms and color variations of foliage, fruit and flowers, with vibrancy but sobriety. Simple and low-maintenance, this combination meets the management needs of the technical teams of small communities. 

Thierry Duteuil 

Landscape consultant for the Charente Maritime department (17)

30 years of setting the scene in towns and villages. 30 years of changing plots and squares. 30 years in the service of nature, changing cultures.

The Charente-Maritime department, through its Arbre et Paysage mission, supports small communes in their reflections and programs to improve and enhance the communal landscape by giving pride of place to trees and plants.
