La experiencia

📍 Haute-Normandie, France
Welcome to an extraordinary artistic garden in the heart of Normandy’s Pays de Caux – a 2.5-hectare botanical haven that has inspired the soul of the Impressionist movement. Set around a 17th-century priory, this is not your average volunteering experience – it’s a cinema in motion where nature plays the lead role.

Programa detallado

🎨 The Project
Join Cécile – a passionate artist-gardener – in her life’s work: maintaining and sharing a unique garden that holds over 3,000 botanical species, 100+ types of bamboo, aromatic plants, and old roses. But this November, we're switching from roots to roofs: we need help renovating the house at the center of the garden.

🌱 Educational Bonus
For plant lovers and curious minds, you can also learn about botany, phytosociology, and artistic gardening – an immersive, poetic experience in one of France’s most inspiring natural settings.
