TOUS A L'ESPINET

Dear Friend,

Le Brantalou Restaurant, Quillan is delighted to welcome back star garden designer Anthea Guthrie who will be our luncheon guest speaker on Sunday June 5.

Last year our medal winning gardener amused and delighted her audience with her behind- the-scenes look at the Chelsea flower show.

Then the Hardcastles were the lucky winners of her charity raffle to earn a behind-the-scenes look at the world famous show, a prize they have recently claimed. We hope to hear more about their experience of being given a tour of the show in advance of the public opening.

This year Anthea's subject will be 'Gardening round the World' Anthea has featured in many TV garden shows including appearances in the series 'A Passion for Plants' for the BBC. She's been a guest on radio's 'Gardener's Question Time' broadcast from Hampton Court Palace and is sought after to give talks to gardening clubs and on cruises.

Anthea studied horticulture part-time while working for private clients at the same time. She entered her first show garden for the Royal Horticultural Society in 2003, won a silver gilt medal and went on to become a gold medallist with her second garden 'The Mayflower'. This was based on the experience of the pilgrims sailing to the New World and featured the plants they would have taken, and those they would have found in New England.

As with previous literary lunches held at Le Brantalou, the day starts with aperitifs and chat at 11.30am on Sunday June 5.

Her presentation follows at 12 noon. Those who wish to stay for lunch at 1pm get the whole deal for 25 euros, including three courses with wines.

Aperos and talk only, costs just 7 euros. A vegetarian meal option is available but must be booked in advance by name. Le Brantalou Restaurant is on the Domaine de L'Espinet, off the 'fish' roundabout on the D118 at Quillan.

Booking for this event is essential. Contact tony@lespinet.com <mailto:tony@lespinet.com> or call 04 68 20 88 88

See you then,

Margaret and Tony
