VIRTUAL LECTURE (LIVE) | MEET MONTY IN PROVENCE with Cathy Trinca

Thursday 14 Oct 2021, 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM

In early June 2019 Cathy and her husband joined an English run tour of private gardens in Provence. Run by Gardeners’ World, the UK equivalent of our Gardening Australia whose main attraction (and coincidentally of the tour) is Monty Don. So, we joined the ‘Meet Monty in Provence’ tour for what proved to be a great week. We were based in Aix en Provence and made day trips to visit villages and gardens in the surrounding areas, mainly in the southern Luberon region. Glorious sunny weather, amazing gardens and good food, memories to last a lifetime.
