Le Manoir's magnificent two acre vegetable and herb garden produces over 90 types of vegetables, many of which Raymond discovered within his mother's garden. Together with 70 types of herb, this garden supplies the restaurant's kitchen with its daily needs for eight months of the year.
Over the last seventeen years almost every inch has been irrigated, re-planted, re-designed and re-seeded.
Monks who occupied the site in the 16th Century originally dug the English water garden, which is fed by natural springs. The ponds are now home to a variety of water plants and fauna.
Following a trip to Japan, Raymond Blanc fell in love with Japanese culture. He introduced a very special Japanese tea garden at Le Manoir aux Quat' Saisons, providing a tranquil setting for guests to contemplate the beauty and simplicity of their surroundings. |
