Jardins de Séricourt, Contemporary garden in Séricourt, France.
Jardins de Séricourt is a 4.5-hectare garden in Séricourt, Pas-de-Calais, laid out by landscape designer Yves Gosse de Gorre around his property. Its sections are linked by paths, among them a rose cathedral formed by a series of metal arches covered in climbing roses, with pale pink and white flowers above a flat, mown grass path.
Founded in 1985 by landscape designer Yves Gosse de Gorre, the garden grew into a nationally recognized destination. It received the title Best Park in France in 2005 and was named Garden of the Year in 2012.
A section of the garden references World War I through Chamaecyparis arrangements and crater-like designs inspired by northern France's battlefields. Walking through this area creates a moment of reflection on the region's past.
The garden is open from April through November, making spring and autumn the best times to visit. An on-site garden center allows you to purchase plants if the varieties on display inspire you.
The rose cathedral, added in 2000, is built on a series of metal arches rather than trees; the photograph shows these hoops covered in climbing plants with pale pink and white flowers above a mown grass path. It is one of several themed gardens made by Yves Gosse de Gorre, alongside the war garden and peace garden.
