Trip to Fources, Fete des Fleurs & Les Jardins de Coursiana – April 2025

A coach full of enthusiastic plant hunters set off from Eymet at 08h30.  The weather did not look promising, but we were all hopeful, and well equipped with boots, umbrellas and raincoats.

Our coach was given a prime parking spot and this meant numerous journeys back and fore to deposit plants when we could carry no more.

Lunch was taken at various restaurants in this beautiful circular bastide town and then all back on board at 14h00 for the short journey to the Jardins de Coursiana.  Five acres of beautiful gardens and an arboretum with may unusual mature trees.  After a visit to the plant nursery, selling roses, shrubs and trees, propagated on site, we enjoyed light refreshments in the tea shop before heading back to Eymet.

We enjoyed our day out and were lucky not to have too much rain to spoil our day.
