I propose, during a visit of about two and a half hours, a journey through the history of men and plants, in the heights of Saint-Denis.
Le Brûlé, a small village of "air change" born in the nineteenth century, develops a particular art of the Creole garden, in accordance with the primary humid forest of medium altitude that existed before the arrival of man.
You will stroll through the ancient paths of an amphitheatre garden, articulated around the tributary of a river and walk in mossy paths, lined with tea, camellias, azaleas, hydrangeas, magnolias or francisceas.
The second part of the garden, a small plateau, corresponds more to the "utilitarian" Creole garden with various species of exotic bamboo, some essences, some spices, fruit trees, a small kiosk.
The visit continues with the discovery of a vestige of endemic forest of medium altitude of Reunion Island; it is focused on the close links maintained by men and this unique nature. The efforts I am developing in terms of species conservation are also highlighted.
The visit ends with a short break under the kiosk, where we will have time to chat around a good hot tea and homemade jams.
A small stand selling jams, plants and various handmade items by me is also offered.
