About
Oh! quel beau jardin: garden concepts in Geneva, the Vaud, and further afield
Competition winners for rose garden design for one of the main international organisations in Geneva.
Sophie Deville
‘Between nature and the arts’, Sophie Deville was born to a family of painters. She first developed a strong aesthetic appreciation via fashion design. So her interest in materials, colours and their combinations makes perfect sense when it comes to gardens. A skilled designer, she knows how to make the best of any garden environment.
Jean Paul Chanel
At the age of 20, Jean Paul Chanel was head of cultivation and propagation at one the largest nurseries of collector's plants in France. His passion then took him to work in Brittany at the famous parc de Kerdalo, where he met Princess Isabelle Wolkonsky and Timothy Vaughan. He pursued his interest in plants in various specialist nurseries in England, Belgium and Switzerland where he had the job of rose-breeder in one of the biggest garden centres in Europe.
Passionate about gardens and real plant lovers, for more than twenty years they have devoted themselves to producing garden concepts with a keen eye for detail, giving the gardens an aesthetic, structured and harmonious appearance that lasts throughout the seasons.
Flowering plants, evergreens, shape and colour combinations, leafage and scents make up their designs in which careful plant selection is married with variety and continuity.
