My son arrived in Paris today, but sadly, I know this wouldn't be his cup of tea (he's 22) ;) Gardening can be so rewarding, yet so infuriating at times (when all our work goes out the window when bugs or animals or disease, or humans, ruin or steal the fruits of our labor (literally). Maybe I'll be in Paris before the show ends to see it myself. One never knows!

...lovely overview of what must be a beautiful show.<br />i discovered over 50 yrs ago when i lived in paris the diff btwn the english & the french version of the garden: the brits (at least by 18th c) in designing the 'english garden" (st james/green/hyde parks + kensington garden) believed u had 2 leave the city to have a beautiful experience (like our central park--olmsted & vaux never figured skyscrapers would surround it). but the french, beginning w works of louis xiv & colbert (& of course le nôtre) believed in bringing 'heaven' so-to-speak to the city itself & merging the 'garden' with the city: the boulevards in place of the walls, the tuileries, the champs-élysées. it's why paris still is a beautiful city to be in. i don't kno if u've read joan dejean's when paris became paris but she brings the point home vividly. she disses napolean III's ramming his blvds thru paris & causing much grief (which he did) but he also realized modern industrialized paris needed truly wide voies to get goods & people from the new (1850s) RR stations into & thru the heart of paris. we curse nap III like we nyers curse robert moses, but we walk the blvds st. germain, st. michel etc.. (creatures of nap III's plan) & admire french urban-ness.Barry Lewishttp://www.barrylewis.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-55845499931199819142017-03-16T11:43:41.830-04:002017-03-16T11:43:41.830-04:00This is wonderful.
