It's been two eventful years since the last Hérault Gardener Open Garden Weekend and it's about time for a refresh: What do we plant? How do we plant? What has worked and was hasn't? What are we planning for the future?On the weekend of May 16 and/or 17 various members of The Hérault Gardener Facebook group will open their very diverse gardens to visitors to share ideas, insights, inspirations. This event is not about showing or viewing perfect gardens, but about sharing experiences, questions, peaves and pleasures.
