Today at Château de Razac, we continue transforming the Manoir gardens, preparing the ground for the next stage of our plans.

The main job of the day is replacing the old surface water drainage channel, which was made from traditional stone pipework, with a new PVC drainage system. We excavate a trench from the existing surface water gully and carefully work our way across the garden towards the gully in the centre of the Manoir garden.

Replacing this old pipework will help improve the drainage around the property and ensure rainwater can be carried away more effectively.

Today at Château de Razac, we continue working on the grounds around the Manoir as we begin putting some of our plans for the gardens into action.

After carefully removing the large fig tree, we decide not to lose it completely. Instead, we successfully replant two shoots from the original tree in the rear garden of the Manoir, giving them a chance to grow on and become part of the garden for years to come.

An evening to celebrate just how far Razac has come. ❤️

Under the open roof of the old barn, with the sun setting across the estate, we gathered with wonderful food, plenty of wine and, most importantly, some of the people who have helped us get this far.

The first phase of works at Razac has been quite a journey. There is still an enormous amount ahead of us, but this felt like the perfect moment to stop and celebrate everything that has already been achieved.

A huge thank you to everyone who has worked so hard, offered advice, lent a hand, encouraged us and supported the project so far. Razac is slowly coming back to life, and we could not be doing it without you.

Here’s to the end of the first chapter, and the beginning of the next. 🇫🇷🥂

We’re back from Peru and straight back into work at the Manoir garden at Château de Razac.

In this video we take a look at how the garden is progressing and John talks through the plans for the next few weeks, including the next stages of landscaping, planting and how we want the garden to develop around the Manoir.

William is helping us with both the mini digger and the Merlo, which is making a huge difference as we start tackling some of the heavier landscaping work.

In the final part of our journey through Peru, we travel deep into the Amazon rainforest to spend time at the Tambopata Research Center, surrounded by some of the most extraordinary wildlife and scenery of the entire trip.

For us, one of the real highlights is the incredible parrots and macaws of Tambopata. We get to see these magnificent birds in their natural environment and learn more about the important research and conservation work being carried out to understand and protect them and their rapidly changing habitat.
