Early lifeChenault was born in Orleans in 1853 to Marcel, a gardener, and Marie, a housewife. On leaving school, he was apprenticed to a garden at Briolay.[1] CareerChenault founded his own nursery, 'Chenault et Fils' which flourished; his catalogue of 1914 listed over 3000 plants, with several varieties named for him. His horticultural skills were legendary, and he was revered by his staff as 'the master'. However, by the time of his death in 1930, the nursery had lost its international market owing to the Great Depression, and was in serious financial difficulties.[1] Personal lifeChenault married Delphine on 2 December 1882; they had two children, Raymond in 1885, and Germaine in 1889.[1] DeathChenault died at his home in Orleans on 27 January 1930. He is commemorated by a bust sculpted by Charles Million in 1931, and erected in the Parc Louis-Pasteur, Orleans. In 1995, the town of Orleans dedicated a park to his memory in the church of Saint-Marceau in the quarter that had witnessed his birth, work, and death.[1]{{botanist|Chenault}}References1. ^1 2 3 4 Archives Orleans. {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Chenault, Leon}}{{France-botanist-stub}} 4 : 1853 births|Botanists with author abbreviations|French botanists|1930 deaths |
