A Taste of Provence in Your Backyard
Lavender rows, weathered stone, and climbing roses create a French country backyard that feels like a farmhouse in the Luberon.
Why it works
French country gardens embrace controlled abundance. A backyard provides room for lavender borders, climbing roses over pergolas, vegetable plots mixed with cutting flowers, and fruit trees underplanted with herbs. The style celebrates imperfection, meaning your garden improves with age.
How to achieve this look
Build a gravel patio area with a rustic wooden dining table. Surround it with lavender borders planted in rows. Train climbing roses over a pergola. Add a small potager with stone-edged beds for vegetables and herbs. Plant olive trees or espaliered fruit trees along a fence.
Arden renders your backyard as a French country retreat with lavender rows, stone accents, and climbing roses. Compare different layouts for the right balance of structure and romance.
