You will be welcomed by members of the association Blanzat Tells Me A Story. First, you will be presented the genesis of the bonbonnier garden project. The heritage character of its existence, the desire to transmit knowledge and talk about the activities carried out by the inhabitants of the commune in the field of the cultivation of angelica, plant at the origin of the idea of creating the bonbonnier garden. We will make a small more global reminder of the economic activity in Blanzat which was until the 60s devoted to apple growing, viticulture... Along the way, you will discover the different gourmet spaces planted mainly with plants for confectionery. Thanks to our explanations and panels installed near a 40 ene of plants, you will discover the use of each: medicinal, sweet,... For visitors who have a taste for play and reflection a "garden bingo" will be offered. From clues noted on a card that will be given to you, you will go to look for the plant corresponding to the index. The bravest will be able to add a little gardening time to our side and we will take advantage of it to share our farming methods in agroecology. This garden is private but the objective determined from the creation is that it is an educational tool for adults and children. For this, we organize gardening workshops. Several partnerships are in place with schools, colleges and high schools so that as many as possible take ownership

About the location

JARDIN BONBONNIER
Chemin du Puy de L'orme BLANZAT 63112 Puy-de-Dôme
  • Puy-de-Dôme
  • Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes
Winner of the 2023 Citizen Ecological Budget, initiated by the Departmental Council of Puy-de-Dôme (63), the association Blanzat Raconte Moi Une Histoire was able to realize its project of creating a participative and supportive bonbonnier garden. It is about replanting plants allowing the manufacture of confectionery: fruit pasta, raspberry candy, mint, marshmallow, licorice, rhubarb and especially angelica, emblematic plant cultivated for many years in Blanzat thanks to a rich land and a stream "Le Bédat" that made irrigation easy. Angelica was known for its many medicinal virtues, the possibility of using all parts of the plant. It declined in liqueur... and the candied part was integrated in the cakes. It is a plant that was exported (Ex: in England). Unfortunately, the production stopped. Our ambition is to revive this local tradition and transmit the knowledge of these cultures to present and future generations.
