Peter Donegan Garden Design & LandscapingThis is the only video interview I have done on the Irish WW1 Garden of Peace | Jardin de la Paix, at the Historial de la Grande Guerre, better known as Chateau de Peronne since France 3 TV covered it as the first of the peace garden series to start.
My thanks to Lee Connelly of Garden7 for making this happen.
To quote France 3 TV News,
Honor, again and again, but otherwise. A little everywhere in the Hauts-de-France and by next autumn, “Gardens of peace” will see the day. Created in places of conflict, they will embody renewal, peace after the war, and life turned towards the future.
A poetic way to remember our ancestors and what we do not want to see anymore……
