The last of the great Renaissance châteaux on the Loire, with the kitchen garden that made the estate famous. Nine geometric squares of box-edged beds, replanted twice a year with cabbages, leeks, chard, and pumpkin so the colour is never the same in two visits. A Spanish doctor and his American wife bought the place in 1906 and spent the next decade putting the geometry back, working from sixteenth-century drawings. The Carvallo family still runs it, four generations on. Worth the train from Tours when the late-June plantings come up.

Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
