I’m always looking for garden inspiration. Like most gardeners, I never sit back and say ‘This is finished’, the creation is fun!

You may remember at the end of last year, I had the visit of garden designer Philippe Dubreuil. I love his garden in the Perche, it is a true garden inspiration for me. He came to lunch and kindly took a moment to wander around my garden, analyzing what we had going on, and giving me suggestions for improvement.

“You have to be more BOLD”, he said several times. I nodded vaguely, trying to envisage how this would play out… When you already think you’re doing your maximum, it’s hard to see what needs to be done to be BOLD. But like a tiny seed dropped into a flower pot, his words germinated in my head, and when he generously sent me a plan for the garden design,

If you’re looking to upgrade your home, you may be able to save thousands of dollars by taking advantage of the Reduced Inflation Act, which includes tax credits and cash rebates on certain energy-efficient purchases.

When Paul Hope renovated his house, he tried to make eco-friendly choices. That includes switching from a gas stove to an electric stove.

“I’ve always preferred gas cooking, but I know electric and induction cooktops have gotten a lot better over the years and a lot better for the environment,” says Hope.

With funding from Congress, the Reduced Inflation Act means homeowners can take advantage of up to $14,000 in rebates and tax credits to make energy efficiency improvements.

A few days ago saw the end of the third tour of the year, which means that our MFCH Tour season is half way through! So far we have welcomed guests to Provence in April and in June, and to the beautiful Dordogne in May.

Our tours are always a moment rich in encounters, in exchange, in discussion and in sharing. There is something special about gathering a group of people who have never met before, but who share a love of France and the wish to see behind closed doors and get a deeper understanding of the country.

On our April tour, the days were a blend of discovering Provence; creating with flowers; shopping for antiques, browsing local markets and enjoying many wonderful meals. As you may expect from an almost uniquely feminine group, there was lots to talk about. I was co-hosting the tour with my friends Sandra
