Accompanied by a small crew, Creton and Barré follow paleobotanist Mark Brown across seven locations in Normandy as he seeks out native plants from which an ancient garden could be created and explains, with the loving tenderness of a true expert, the etymology, beauty, and scientific properties of the region’s flora.
