Gardens of Power and Passion

3/4/2019 French Gardens - DocuWiki
Monty tells the stories behind France's important historic gardens. These include elaborate walled gardens designed to please the
mistress - and then the wife - of a king, magnificent displays of flowers and fountains that involved thousands of soldiers
moving tracts of land and incited violent jealousy in another monarch, and a modern-day chateau garden that came close to
bankrupting its owner. Monty sees how throughout history the French have used gardens as a public expression of money,
power and passion.

The Gourmet Garden

Monty turns to the French love of food and finds out how this has influenced their gardens. Monty travels to some of the most
famous 'potager' or kitchen gardens, where vegetables and flowers are planted together in elaborate and beautiful displays. He
talks to gardeners about this style of planting which has been copied the world over. He also visits allotments, learns to pick
asparagus, enjoys some of the best produce from the land and learns about the importance the French attach to the soil.

The Artistic Garden

Monty turns to France's famous artistic tradition to see what influence it has had on the country's gardens. Monty travels to
some of the most celebrated artists' gardens, including the one created by the impressionist Claude Monet, who planted and
painted his garden for half his life. Monty also matches the paintings to the garden of Paul Cezanne, as well as visiting several
contemporary artistic gardens to see how the use of plants and trees has evolved into new and varied styles.
