The Jardins du Château Val Joanis are private garden, open to the public, recreating an 18th century French kitchen garden and Garden à la française, in the town of Pertuis in the Vaucluse Department of France. They are classified by the French Ministry of Culture among the Notable Gardens of France.
Description
The gardens are laid out on three terraces, and are designed to resemble a French garden of the eighteenth century, combining both ornamental plants and selection of vegetables and fruits. It features rose trees, ornamental bushes, and old varieties of pears, apples and other fruit attached to the walls in the style of the 18th century. It also has vineyard, a garden of herbs, a collection of asters, and boxwood hedges trimmed in ornamental forms. An arbor covered with climbing roses joins the three terraces. They also incorporate stones from an old Roman basin.
History
The gardens were begun in 1978 by the owner of the property, Cecile Chancel, with landscape architect Tobbie Loup de Viane. They were completed in their current form in 1990.
