these events will take place the 2nd week of July 2019.
the Lautaret Alpine Garden is hosting SAJA, the french rock garden society, for its plant fair on Saturday, July 13th (at the end of the event week)
it is likely that I would be there ... To enjoy also some botanical outings ..
-
bingo, i'll be there in holidays ;D
-
that's great ! :)
I think it will be a big gathering.
and for the day of the saja seedling fair, there will also be growers
-
are you going there? I guess i'll stay in Huez or nearby.
By the while i take this opportunity to state that with 3 other botanists i'll explore the Meije between 3000 and 3200m.
We'll be guided by a great friend mountain leader. We'll be happy to have other fellows to join us.
The only constraints are off course a good physical state and basic alpine climbing techniques.
You can message me for more details. All will depends of weather, snow state, etc.

"The Lautaret Botanical Garden is an altitude garden (2,100 meters) of the alpine massif, located at the Lautaret pass, on the border between the French departments of Isère and Hautes-Alpes. It was created by Jean-Paul Lachmann in 1899. It brings together more than 2,000 mountain and Arctic plant species over an area of two hectares. The flora gathered in the garden is organized in the form of thematic rocks, i.e. massifs grouping species by biotopes, by families... It has been labelled "Remarkable Garden" by the Ministry of Culture."
Brought to mind by the great day today in Le Tour de France ( thanks goodness for TV!) - riding past the alpine garden and over the Galibier :)
