Free visit of the «Yak’s Garden» (21,50 ares) Name: The name «Yak’s Garden» was given to the garden because of a very important collection of more than 130 different varieties of Rhododendron yakushimanum (rhododendrons of small size generally not exceeding one meter in height) A large part of the garden has been arranged for heather soil plants: rhododendrons (about 300), azaleas (about fifty), pieris (about thirty different varieties), kalmia latifolia (about forty different varieties), camellias, choysia, enkianthus campanulatus, skimmia japonica (about twenty different varieties), daphne (about fifteen different varieties) etc. At the bottom of the garden, a 40m hedge, composed exclusively of deciduous shrubs (laurels, buxus, ilex, euonymus, photinias, trochodendron, elaeagnus, viburnum, etc.) makes a nice screen with the nearby forest. Among the hundreds of shrubs, it is necessary to note especially maples (thirty), horns kousa and florida (thirty), ilex (ten), viburnums (twenty), hamamelis (fifteen). A rose garden (with roses gimpantes) and a hundred roses (often English roses) is located in the middle of the field. 2 large areas of the garden are reserved for perennials. 1 area with hydrangea paniculata (23) was developed in March 2018. The garden is in bloom during all seasons, depending on the varieties of plants. 5 small ponds and 8 fountains are integrated. Many benches allow visitors to rest. A good sixty jars (with hostas) and a dozen jars (with agapanthus) are in the near part of the house. The decoration is varied and original and was made by twenty international artists.
