Petit Trianon: Views & Plans
Bloggers' Corner
It's always a pleasure to have you sketching in the gardens, Joan!
The French parterre was a lot of fun to do. Have to start thinking about switching over to summer flowers

Thanks Eleanore!
Looking back over my Project Timeline I see that I've actually done more tearing down than building up. There is always so much to learn when you are building in SL!!
I'm lucky that I have the opportunity to keep working on this without thepressure to complete it

As many of you know, I'm slowly re-creating this beautiful gem of a palace in SecondLife and I thoughtit was about time thatI dedicated a blog page to summarize my adventures during this journey.
Please see Petit Trianon .
Thanks!!

Congratulations on a very beautiful start. All the best in your new venture!
You're most welcome, Candace. It was great to see all the pics, including yours, of the party.
The old hamster running my computer drops from exhaustion if I try to take pictures so I so glad to have them.
Wasn't that a party!
More information including links to some great pics, see my blog Tatiana's Tea Room: Duch de Coeur: Opera Meets Couture Gala .
Enjoy!
Thanks Stormy!
Each planting bed (there are 4 variationsincluded) is a18m x 18m triangle so you can kind of judge from there. Keep in mind that everything is modifiable (as well as copyable) so you could always shrink or expand the individual beds as required.
Flat land or a gentle slope would be best if you are using the planting beds. I have a few cases where people are buying the set because of the savings on the flowers & the cherry tree. These seven pieces (not counting the beds) would retail for L$1750 if you bought them individually.
I spent way too much time playing withvarious layouts using the different pieces - lol. It was hard to settle on just one in the end so I'm looking forward to seeing what other people come up with!
This delightful spring garden is perfect for avid and novice gardeners alike.
Based on the original design for the parterre of the Petit Trianon, the formal lines of the four planting beds and small, clipped hedge borders are accentuated by brightly coloured masses of flowers that sway gentle in the breeze. The full arrangement is a symmetrical pattern with the two beds of the right side mirroring the two beds of the left.
It sets up with the touch of a rez box for instant visual impact. All parts are mod/copy so that you can rearrange and make changes to your heart's content. Every piece has been optimized to be prim conscious.
Includes:
- Planting beds (left & right sides) with small clipped hedge borders and grass centres
- Cherry Tree in full blossom
- Pink Cone Flowers (Garden Flexi Flower 28)
- Paper White Flowers (Garden Flexi Flower 65)
- Variegated Hosta w Blue Flowers (Garden Flexi Flower 16)
- Yellow Calla Lilly (1 prim w 4 flowers straight-17)
- Pink Calla Lilly (1 prim w 4 flowers straight-20 & 1 prim w 4 flowers staggered-20)
One side of the garden requires a Land Impact (LI) of 56 to rez and position. Once the garden is in the correct spot and has been Stored (removing the rez scripts) the LI drops to 42.
The TTR-Instant Spring Garden will be on display inworld for the Spring 2012 season. During this time the flowers and garden beds may also be purchased individually. Go to the Petit Trianon French Garden Parterre .
Also available on the Second Life Marketplace at: TTR-Instant Spring Garden (SLM)
