The Chateau of Saint Jean-de-Beauregard (92 Hauts de Seine, Ile de France – see map), about 20 miles southwest of Paris, hosts an annual Fete des Plantes, Fruits et Légumes d’hier et d’aujourd’hui – plants, fruits and vegetables of yesterday and today – this year it is 9-11 November 2007.
Held inn the grounds of the chateau there is an all year programme of interesting gardening topics, but this sounds the most interesting!
This event highlights the conservation of France’s national plant heritage with the aim of bringing back long-forgotten cultivars of fruit and vegetables. The vegetable garden section of the Societé Nationale d’Horticulture de France( the French equivalent of the Royal Horticultural Society) will present a collection of vegetables especially recommended for their health benefits.
