"Exuberance of vegetation, extraordinary number and diversity of trees, plants, fruits and vegetables, strong presence of water… Beyond the admiration that the botanical garden of Saint-Pierre aroused, this one-hour presentation uses as a support of documents of time: drawings, postcards, descriptions by the various personalities who visited it. He will also talk about the problems the garden was facing: maintenance, climatic hazards, snakes...
Finally, this conference will end with the brief presentation of some references on the Web and books to know if you want to know more about this mythical garden disappeared with the eruption of Mount Pelee on May 8, 1902". Xavier CHEVALLIER
