The exhibition is organised around 3 defining features of Edouard André's identity. The first part presents the horticulturist and traveller. The second delves into his work as a landscape gardener: his beginnings, his agency, his designs in the Loire Valley and his legacy (with René Edouard André). The final part is devoted to Edouard André: the theoretician, writer and professor.

An explorer of the plant world
The diversity of projects of a successful artist
