This mound, with its perpendicular rhythm of hedges of hornbeam and osmanthus and flights of stairs only contains plants that produce white flowers or that have silver-grey foliage. It was deliberately designed along very strict lines in order to underline even more clearly the Cistercian purity of this part of the garden. In May, smell the Viburnum carlesii.
Go down over the large lawn along the flowerbed until the second set of steps. Then return along the path with the "Mount Fuji" cherry trees.
