A Propos des Jardins: A Conversation with Alexandre de Vogüé
Posted in Adult Education on February 16 2015, by Plant Talk
Next week, we take an intimate look into André Le Nôtre’s 17th-century masterwork of the formal gardens of Château de Vaux le Vicomte outside of Paris as part of our 15th annual Winter Lecture Series, Le Jardin Français. During his presentation Thursday, February 19, the co-proprietor and fifth-generation owner of this landmark family estate, Alexandre de Vogüé, will give examples of Le Nôtre’s design audacity and walk listeners through the ongoing and ambitious landscape restoration he currently oversees in his presentation, “Vaux le Vicomte: From Le Nôtre to Today.”
Monsieur de Vogüé was gracious enough to answer a few questions we had for him in advance of his lecture.
