Well today is a damp, miserable and cold day, no gardening going on whatsoever - so what better then to tell you a bit about 'Villes et Villages Fleuries" which translated means Towns and Villages in Flower! these are stunning over here, Just look for this sign 
when entering a village or town in France then you will know what to expect!This is a great scheme which they adopt over here, ranging from one flower to 4 flowers, this is open to any town or village throughout France, and is judged on the environment, the quality of life, the welcome and of course the quality, quantity and layout of flowers. A trophy is awarded to up to 9 of the best towns or villages in a grand ceremony on the 15th of June!The town of LA GACILLY nearby to where my Gites are at www.farmhousegites.com - I am proud to say has 4 flowers, if you perhaps are thinking of staying at my place, LA GACILLY is a fantastic place to visit especially with its stunning weir see pic above - and of course is full of flowers!Have a look at the local tourist office for La Gacilly and its surrounding areas to get a feel of what I mean at http://www.paysdelagacilly.com/ENJOY!
