Come discover or re-discover the gardens of the association and cultural cooperative In the eye of the Silo in Saintes, located on a former industrial wasteland of an old grain silo from the 1930s.
Mounds of crops, discovery trails, observation of local fauna and flora, insects, birdhouses, composting of bio-waste... This garden is above all a showcase of possibilities, open-air laboratory implementing solutions to rehabilitate biodiversity on a site abandoned for more than 10 years.
The team of volunteers and garden enthusiasts will accompany you all day of Sunday, June 2, 2024 to explain the work already done, those in progress and future.

About the location

Jardin du Silo
97 rue Taillebourg 17100 Saintes
  • Charente-Maritime
  • Nouvelle-Aquitaine
The Silo garden was born from a partnership between the association «Incroyable Comestibles Saintes» and the collective «Dans l'œil du Silo». It is open during demonstrations and events. Each citizen can freely come and plant and harvest fruits and vegetables and share their knowledge with others. This approach aims to accompany the food transition of the territories, the respect and development of biodiversity, as well as the strengthening of the social link between the generations.
