A French garden is part of the Baroque period when the style of clothes, architecture and paintings were conspicuous and showy. Louis XIV was king and his head gardener, Andre Le Notre, became famous after creating Versailles, Louis‘ palace.

The French were inspired by the work of the Italian Renaissance (14th and 15th centuries ) and copied their style in a big way. The French made everything bigger to show man’s dominance and manipulation over nature. The French garden represented authority, wealth and power.

Renee Descartes, the founder of analytical geometry, was another influence on the Garden à la Française. Descartes objectified the world in straight lines. You can see the mathematical coordinate system in the layout of the French garden.

The French were experts in controlling nature and contriving prim, angular gardens. You can do the same by adding fountains and a wild animal exhibit. If you really want a challenge, create a flower bed in a detailed, geometrical shape. Have chains of one color flower intertwining with chains of another color flower. Low growing plants like germander, boxwood, hyssop or lavender are perfect for this design.

Fertilizer is the food that plants need to grow and thrive. Plant food is fertilizer that has the necessary nutrients to produce healthy plants whether it is organic or inorganic. There are scientific studies that show beyond a shadow of a doubt that one is better than than the other. Although people believe organic fertilizer is better for the environment.
The three main nutrients that are vital to plant growth are nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.

Nitrogen is found in the air and converted into a form that plants benefit from. It also is the main compent in chlorophyll. Phosphorus is essential to all forms of life and is made into fertilizer by taking the remains of ancient marine life found in rock deposits and volcanic activity in China. A concentrated phosphorus solution is produced by combining the phosphate with sulfuric acid.

Potassium is mined from naturally occurring ores that are farmed when seas and oceans have dried up. After the ore is brought to the surface of the earth, the unwanted minerals are removed and the potassium is granulated. Organic fertilizer such as compost, peat moss, and manure do burn or harm plants like inorganic fertilizers can. They also have long lasting positive effects on soil. Mulch like hay, leaves, grass, and bark help aerate the soil. They also help protect the soil from temperature change while adding nutrients.
