Jardin des Ifs

This stunning historic 17th-century garden is unique in France for its monumental XXL yew trees, pruned into geometric topiaries. Herb and edible flower garden.
Part of the Vidame (Governor's) residence. This family home (1744) is now open to the public and houses a country bistro restaurant. Tables in the garden, terraces and wood-panelled lounges.
In tribute to Gerberoy's rose tradition, the garden is planted with over 45 varieties of old and modern roses.

Since opening to the public in spring 2016, the Ifs Garden has received a flurry of Labels: "Arbres remarquables de France", "Jardin Remarquable", "Prix de l'Art Topiaire 2018". Last but not least, the "yew-igloo" ( 300 years old) was voted "Tree of the Year" in December 2017, in the Office National des Forêts competition which, each year, distinguishes the most beautiful trees in France.
Numerous TV programs: Echappées Belles, Grands Reportages, Des Racines et des Ailes, Silence ca pousse ..etc....and a film with Jean Dujardin! :)
