JULY THE MONTH OF PERENNIALS.

Perennial Associations

The month of July is the month of the association of perennials in Rivau gardens. It is the time of maturity, the time in which each plant puts another plant forward. Those associations are based on harmony and opposition, just like it would be for a couple even though each of our 14 gardens of Rivau have their own theme.
