How to Luxembourg Garden

Luxembourg Gardens. 

And there are lots of events on to celebrate world heritage day. Our first stop is the Orangery. 

Here are exhibits and explanations about the planting in the gardens. There are outside displays too. 

The photos show the pot plants, and how they have to be repotted every 10 years (if I remember correctly). Looking at the roots here, this tree is due for a new pot, but it is huge! There is a gantry system just to put it in this place. 

Then they explain how to graft and train fruit trees, and why. But more exotically, and very Frenchly, they show how to mask the fruit so that it grows with the producer's badge coloured on its skin. 

Next stop is the Senate, France's seat of government.
