The Palace of Versailles is beautifully surrounded by many
gardens and statues. Walking through the former home of French royals was very breathtaking.
The massive painting of royals, battle scenes and the gardens covered filled
each room. Outside of the palace the site of green and vibrant plants were
beautifully manicured into variety abstract designs. As a class were able to
take a private tour with one of the gardeners. Versailles’ garden is very large
and requires a large quantity of workers to care for the garden. The upkeep
method used by the gardeners has been used for many years. There is not a handbook
to teach them the method, but the seasoned gardeners teach the new gardeners.
This system is similar to the method used by small family farmers. In small
family farm agriculture the older generations teach the younger generations
their farming techniques. Passing down the gardening techniques, and knowledge
from experienced gardeners to new gardeners keeps Versailles gardens beautiful
and long lasting for future generations to visit.
