Paroles de Jardiniers

Saturday was a gorgeous spring day in Madame Elisabeth's domain for the gardening event 'Words of gardeners'. Still walking at the pace of a limping snail, VDP enjoyed looking at this bouquet making workshop where concentration (and sustenance) were required! VDP would have liked to make it to the palace where Alain Baraton, head palace gardener, was organising a tour of Marie-Antoinette's domain, but couldn't have walked for so long.

Samedi il faisait un temps de rêve pour les "paroles de jardiniers", ici dans le domaine de Madame Elisabeth où un atelier de confection de bouquets était organisé, auquel VDP s'est rendue en boîtant à la vitesse d'un escargot ! VDP aurait aimé pouvoir assister à la promenade avec Alain Baraton, jardinier en chef au château, mais n'aurait pas pu marcher aussi longtemps.

  13. It's good to hear you are up and about, even if at a snails pace. It looks like everyone was having a good time. I leave the flower arranging to my wife, I'm not so good at it.

  14. Not my cup of tea, but I can imagine this would be fun - to learn how to make bouquets. Were you able to partake or just watch and absorb pertinent info?

    Glad you are able to be up and about a little bit anyway. You'll probably be jogging around the palace pretty soon!
