Le Jardin du Pellinec - Gerard Jean's irises

Our two-day Tour for Independent travellers on Wednesday 15th & Thursday 16th September 2010.

Visit Brittany's beautiful Côtes d'Armor gardens, west of St Malo

The late Prince Peter Wolkonsky inspired our other highly original gardeners to realise their own vision beside the rocky coastline and misty valleys of this unexplored region.

Two completely private gardens, one of which was chosen by Christopher Lloyd as his most inspirational garden,

plus

• Prince Peter Wolkonsky created at Jardins de Kerdalo one of the finest gardens in France. His daughter, Isabelle Vaughan, will be our guide

• The remarkable and unusual contemporary garden, Le Grand Launay, which won the coveted Prix Bompland in 2008
