Come and have fun in the garden
The experience
We live in a large house in the middle of a big garden that Gérard gives tours of because he loves sharing his passion for plants. We have a large vegetable garden for family consumption and fruit trees. Volunteers will help maintain the garden with Gérard, will be able to harvest vegetables and fruit with Monique, and prepare meals, jams, and cakes. They will be able to accompany visitors and introduce children to the world of plants.
