Bonjour à tous, In this episode at the château the family tackle the walled garden. After clearing a lot of the area last year the family are set to create a beautiful formal garden this year, but first have a mountain of work to do, starting with removing all the trees that have self seeded over the years to create a blank canvas for a stunning landscape design, but as the family get to work the walled garden starts to look more like a bomb has hit it than a formal garden.

About us,
We are a family from the North-East of England following our dream to restore a beautiful abandoned french Château. We discovered the heart stopping Château De Lalacelle in summer of 2020, this beautiful architectural monument Is set in the countryside of North-West France.
The moment we visited the Château we all fell in love, from the beautiful sweeping landscape and forests, to its stunning untouched interiors and magnificent spiral staircase in the turret.
Unfortunately Château De Lalacelle has been abandoned for a number of decades so will need a lot of restoration and DIY.
Please subscribe and follow our families journey, with the up’s and down’s in moving from the UK to rural France and restoring this beautiful building to its former glory.

I will have to agree with those who say "Take it out!" and give the Formal Garden designers a clean slate to work with. And, for sentimental reasons, one could even take a cutting off it to plant elsewhere, so it would still be present on the château grounds.

You should take the tree out. Like Tracey said. In the formal garden it will look out of place. By the way your Chateau is looking real fine now . With everything you do, the Chateau is growing into a beautiful Lady! Keep up the great work and looking forward to seeing your next project.

[@mary-annebarnett654]

I am a keen gardener and believe in Starting with a blank canvass. You. will only get the one chance so take it, embrace it and make it yours the way you want it to be. You will not regret it. Draw up a list of what the outside will contain as ‘ must keeps’ and ‘must haves’ and make little cut-outs for features, plantings and so on. There are some great garden design apps out there so you can see your dreams come virtually to life. Then the real fun starts.😘

As a long time gardener who has at times run into this kind of situation with old established trees and a new garden plan, I agree with many of the other comments.

[@posnrg2u327]

Your plans are for formal gardens. The tree is part of the recent past (last forty years), it’s part of the history of the chateau’s neglect period. It needs to be removed, so that you can achieve the formal gardens of symmetry, regal beauty. The glory of the era of the 18th century recreation would be marred by a reminder of the neglect the “Old Lady” went through in recent past. My opinion. ❤️🏰

I hate taking trees down but I am a realist and do have a masters in Landscape Architecture, that tree needs to come out. Do like I do and plant a few extra to make up for it. A blank slate is the best thing for you. You can design in plantings to frame the view and the chateau. I do look forward to your videos. You are doing amazing work!

Maybe put in a Rose Arbour where that tree is or some grape vines over an arbour. But you do need to take it out.

[@kateredhead7334]

For what it is worth, I would keep that last tree. I would trim it on one side, emphasize the angle, almost as an arch. Judicious pruning over the years could see it grow into a star of the garden, a large bonsai. Well done to the family. Amazing what hard work can accomplish.

It's an interesting trade off you're doing: taking out self-seeded trees from the formal garden and replanting the orchard. I hadn't truly appreciated the size of the garden until that aerial drone shot. It's going to be so lovely when curated. I'm afraid that little scrubby tree won't quite fit in unless it's part of the design. Lovely seeing friends, neighbors and Jonathan pitch in with enthusiasm. Oh, and a little shout out to the beautiful patch of flowers the digger saved!

[@suzannemckitterick83]

Keep her! Like saving a child's first locks. Treasure what she was. Treat it like a birthmark. Give her a bit of whimsy, like a tiny kidneybean- shaped garden underneath, with potted rare herbs, antique apothecary herbs, a medicinal area that can bear and hold plants, planted assymetrically...like when the Amish make gorgeous quilts, but they always include one tiny section that is contrary, because only our creator makes perfection. And you'd also be honoring the chateau's past. (Can you tell I am a saver?)...Much love to Fab-Five! Stay safe...

Loved the quality of this video today as well as the intro. I think the tree should go at it's not in the centre of the stairs when you look up at the chateau. It would be good to have a central piece like a fountain, statue, or weeping ornamental trees and then the garden works it way out from this. Lots of box hedging and pathways on either side, creating symmetry.
