Join Master Gardener State Coordinator Rosie Lerner

and Professor Mike Dana on a 12-day study tour in La Belle France.

Near Paris, in the Loire River valley and in Normandy, we'll learn about and experience:

• the grandeur of the classic Renaissance chateau gardens
• the flower-filled planting of the Impressionists
• the history and development of the modern rose
• some of Europe's most contemporary ideas in garden design and
• share the private garden of one of France's most accomplished horticulturists

In Paris itself, we'll see

• parks and avenues created during the Napoleonic era
• historic and ultra-contemporary gardens, and
• modern urban horticulture unique in the world

Plus, you'll have several free days in Paris, the City of Lights!
