This private garden of 1,900 square meters, part of which has recently been acquired, is a field for experimenting with techniques aimed at restoring biodiversity on two initially very poor plots: one entirely mown weekly, the other serving as pasture for cows.
This garden will be the subject of a guided tour of about an hour and a half for adults and adolescents, which will focus on biodiversity (flora and small fauna): we will talk about diversity of habitats and species, illustrate some interactions, and will also see the genetic diversity through several examples of differences between wild and ornamental plants.
We will also have the opportunity to address this year’s theme: the solicitation of the senses in the garden. Indeed, through the development of this land, it is not five, but eight of the senses of the human being that we will use to learn to enjoy a garden differently, so as to leave room for other species.
We will even go further, and try to understand the garden with the senses of other animals, to guess how they perceive the place, and understand what it really means to develop a plot in order to increase biodiversity.
If the weather is not rainy, a library of about thirty books around the garden and biodiversity will be available for consultation.
May be observed, felt or touched in this garden:

• more than 70 different species or cultivars of trees and shrubs,
• about sixty species of wild flowers,
• 35 different varieties of roses,
• more than 40 different plants with fragrant foliage.
