Editorial reading
Editorial interpretation: the garden’s named collections offer different approaches to grouping plants. Comparing the arboretum and alpine garden with the rose collection invites attention to habitat, classification and horticultural selection.
Recommendation
Consult the garden operator’s current visitor information using the Jean-Marie Pelt name. Check access to the particular collections and glasshouses before travelling; the older Montet name refers to this site rather than the historic garden in central Nancy.
