Between nature and culture, parks and gardens, the green spaces of our municipalities constitute a living heritage that must be maintained, conserved and developed. While the media regularly talk about climate change, it seems important to us to question the benefits of green spaces on the climate, on the benefits of our living plant heritage on our daily lives. Come visit our CAMPUS, discover its history, meet the professionals of tomorrow who will present you the techniques and know-how to green the city of tomorrow.
