A few months ago, as I was analyzing & reflecting on my past year's real estate business, I saw a trend I hadn't identified earlier. Perhaps it's been there for some time, or perhaps it's because I've been working with similarly-minded people, but the importance of a garden or the space for a garden was a common theme among my clients.
In our fast-paced (and let's face it, pesticide & gmo-filled) society, the home garden, le potager as the French call it, has been making a strong comeback.
It doesn't have to be the sprawling gardens of yesteryear, but the desire to grow our own food is strong, and for my clients it appeared to be a definite check in the pros columns when looking at homes.
Cheers to a greener world!

| This is a French friend's own potager in the Bretagne region of France. It is so neatly organized I think he would faint at the sight of my overgrown garden! (Yes, those are hot air balloons in the background.) |
