00:02At France's Chambord Castle, the scene is unusual this year around the château.
00:08The once lush gardens now resemble a scorched landscape.
00:12The drought and successive heat waves have depleted the soil and put the vegetation to the test.
00:17Here the gardeners have seen the effects of this exceptional year.
00:21Even the trees, which are usually able to withstand harsh conditions, are beginning to show signs of distress.
00:27At the beginning, we did not see it too much on the trees.
00:29It was really the small vegetation with the weak roots.
00:34And now we see that this rainstorm starts to impact the roots system.
00:40I think we will have some damage, but it will be delayed in the time.
00:45There are some who will maybe take 2-3 years to deteriorate, but the impact of the drought this year
00:50is very, very strong.
00:51For him, there is no way around it.
00:53There needs to be a rethink of how gardens are designed and which trees and plants are chosen in the
00:59coming years.
01:00We can't think about the gardens with the volume of water that we could use before.
01:10I think that now, we see that the water resource is complicated.
01:16I think the new gardens need to think about the smallest volume of water possible, even not at all.
01:25Less water, plants better adapted to drought, and more resilient trees.
01:30The gardens of tomorrow will have to adapt.
01:32In Shambour, where nature has been shaped by humans for centuries, it is now the climate that is writing a
01:38new chapter in the history.
01:39Well...
