Recently James Clay wrote about his "secret garden" experience in Provence, and the first time he discovered Chateau de Roussan, outside of St. Remy. James Clay is an incredible artist, sculptor, writer, and accomplished gardener. James shares with us his recent watercolor painting of the remarkable Chateau de Roussan.

James Clay is also a regular contributor to Julie Mautner's, The Provence Post, writing the "Cocktail Guide to Gardening" column. If you didn't get enough of James Clay's witty writing, here is a stash of his previous monthly columns. Hint, you can catch a glimpse of James and his beautiful Provence garden in the September column.
