*" Once upon a time… "*. How else can you introduce a garden that is a tribute to times gone by? So let's resume: * "Once upon a time, a garden of wild plants inhabited by elves. Over the seasons, the elves worked the soil to make flowers bloom, grow vegetables and fruits ..." *. The tone is set ! The spirit too, namely that of the great magician Merlin, conductor of the premises and of the visit. Under his ferrule, young and old can discover magic herbs and remedies from the Middle Ages. They will also have the leisure to observe all the manifestations and the diversity of a preserved nature thanks to practices respectful of its balance: maintenance of natural spaces, shelters for local fauna, natural treatments, natural enrichment of the soil… So many practices that were certainly those of Merlin and his fellow citizens and whose common sense is essential again.
