Garden Club visit (with optional lunch before)

Our April 18th visit will be to Plantagenet Plants located at 7 rue des Figuiers-Argentay, Les Verchers sur Layon, Doué-en-Anjou.  This pepinière produces 750 varieties of plants, mainly perennials and grasses that are easy-to-grow.  The cost of the visit is 7€, but everyone will receive a coupon for the same amount to be used for purchases in the boutique.  The tour will start at 2:30pm.  Find more information about Plantagenet Plants at:  https://www.plantagenetplantes.com.

A fun lunch is planned beforehand at Le Caveau, 4 Place du Champ de Foire, Doué-en-Anjou.  This special troglodyte restaurant serves a “typical, back-in-the-day, Anjou meal” for a fixed price of 26 euros, absolutely everything included (aperitif, entrée/plat/dessert, wine & coffee).  You have no choice in what to eat; everyone eats the same meal, and the fouaces are “all you can eat” direct from the oven.  You will find detail for the meal at https://restaurantlecaveau.com/les-cartes/.

Send an email to GardenClubELLIA@yahoo.com no later than April 4th if you are planning to come to Plantagenet Plants and be sure to indicate whether or not you will come to the lunch.   If you are coming to the lunch, plan to arrive a few minutes early so that we can be seated as a group at exactly 12:30.

If you enjoy exploring all forms of textile and multimedia art, this activity is for you.

We experiment with many different techniques (embroidery, weaving, patchwork, quilting, collages…) and we take pleasure in sharing and exploring various types of work together.

Lately we have completed individual and shared projects which may be displayed.
