Just in case anyone might be interested and missed it, there was an article in the Travel section of yesterday's New York Times about a number of "hidden" gardens in Paris. Enjoy.

A little green scoop:
The late Pamela Harriman offered a baby sequoia to either the city of Paris or to France. The last I checked, the tree is no longer a baby and is outstanding - in more ways than one - outside the US embassy, between the embassy and the Champs. I remember when it was offered, it was no taller than the people around it.
Still, it is by no no means an adult sequoia size. I wonder if the French knew what they were getting into when they got the gift. One day that thAng is going to cast a shadow on the Champs…

David, this is last year's article by Alan Riding on hidden gardens.

Thanks for that. Actually the Alan Riding piece was published in 2002! How time flies! I guess it's a popular subject. Either way, it's good to have both as references for those interested.
