This garden was created in 1965 and is reputed to be one of the best gardens created in Europe since the second world war. Its inspirations are Italian, Chinese and there is even a part which invokes a tropical jungle. The gardens had become somewhat abandoned but upon the death of Peter Wolkonsky his daughter Isabelle Vaugham, a horiculturist who trained at the RHS garden, Wisley, lovingly brought them back to life. The Jardins de Kerdalo is a beautiful garden covering 18 hectares, one of the star features is the grotto surrounded by giant leaves of gunnera. Another favourite is this wisteria covered pergola.

Isabelle Vaughan, owner of les Jardins de Kerdalo since 1997, discusses the grounds that her father began to restore in 1965. Under her direction the garden was named a ‘Jardin Remarquable’ in 2005 and was registered under l’Inventaire des Monuments Historiques in 2007.
