My first week in France was a busy one. Join me as I journal a week of selecting new roses, visiting nurseries, talk about breeder codes and introduce you to a great French Rosarian, Andre Eve.

There are a couple of videos I reference in this email. Click on the link to watch them on My You Tube Channel.

The Village Of Les Rosiers sur Loire where I stayed by first night.

Les Chemins de la Rose. The unexpected garden I stumbled across.

Andre Eve Nursery Website. Great eye candy and an English language version available.

Information On My Garden Tours. My current France tour and how to learn about future ones.

In the episode of A World of Gardening I interview New Zealand Plant Breeder and friend John Ford. In Paul's Journal sending roses from my personal garden to be introduced, touch on some of my garden design work, the rains finally came and I'm off to France!

When my fellow rose gardener Kimberly Dean suddenly lost her husband Ken she had to learn how to process through it. Her garden became part of that journey. This episode is her story, her guide and her gift to you on how to navigate that journey through gardening.

Here are some links we mention in episode.
