The July 2012 Hydrangea Tour of France will be in Normandy, Brittany and the Loire Valley. The tour will not only be about hydrangeas and gardens but also about the French way of life, cuisine, beautiful old cities, antiques, etc. Among the gardens on the tour will be The National Collection of Hydrangeas at Shamrock Garden, Claude Monet’s Clos Normand at Giverney, Rouen Botanic Gardens and many others, including visits to several important French nurseries.
