“French Garden Travel” Bob Howard.

Bob has made several trips to France in the last fifteen years mainly to visit gardens. This talk will give a hint of the many wonderful and historically important gardens north of the Loire in France. He will show pictures, including the Chaumont Garden Festival, gardens in and around Paris, including Vaux Le Vicomte and Sceaux by André Le Notre (whose birth 400 years ago is cele-brated this year), and a couple woodland gardens in Normandy that feature hydrangeas.
