Nothing better than a green space for reinvigorate an entire neighborhood. The city of Montrouge has developed a plot of 3,700 m 2 for the establishment of a Tuscan garden. The mayor of the city insists on shaping an identity specific to each district. It should be noted that this elected official attaches particular importance to his policy of plant dynamics. Currently, this city has 8 hectares of green space, which is very impressive compared to its situation in the 90s.
With the inauguration of this new Tuscan garden, the municipality now has 23 public gardens. The town's mayor, Jean-Loup Metton said with a smile that "the idea of a Tuscan garden came to me in 2004, maybe because of my Italian grandfather". It is the landscape architect Laurence Jouhaud who supervised this magnificent masterpiece. According to her, "from the request of the mayor and my walks in Tuscany, the identity of this new piece of the neighborhood appeared to me as obvious".
This Italian touch gives vitality and a certain character to the neighborhood. Indeed, this garden has attic terraces, terracotta for the roofs and facades, and other styles that pay homage to Italy. The Tuscan landscape, renowned for its red earth, is brilliantly reproduced in this town of Montrouge. The final finishing touches will focus on the extension of the neighboring schoolyard, with the installation of a playground, and the construction of a final residential building. With this beautiful Tuscan garden, it is possible that Montrouge could be discerned from the fourth flower in the list of cities and flowered villages of France.
And why not bring that air of Italy into our gardens? Indeed, along with English Gardens, French Gardens and Japanese Gardens, Tuscan Gardens are palpable works of art that can be afforded throughout the seasons.
