Garden Club visit

We will visit Les Jardins du Puygirault in Saumur the morning of August 1^st.  This troglodyte garden was named “Jardin Remarquable” in 2023 by the Ministre de Culture, in recognition of their respect for the environment (e.g., using only green fertilizer from compost).  In this garden you will find over 1000 plants spread over 14 distinct regions (e.g., Antique Garden, Medicinal Garden, Medieval Garden, Asian Garden).  Each of the 14 gardens has different soil, plants, and enclosures including one located inside a troglodyte, which provides water for all the other gardens.  The Domaine de Puygirault has over 500 years of experience in plant biodiversity.  The cost of the visit is 7.50€.

After the visit all are welcome to bring a picnic lunch to enjoy at one of our member’s home, about 10km away towards Angers.  The address will be provided to all who sign up.

Please send an email to GardenClubELLIA@yahoo.com no later than July 18^th if you are interested, indicating whether you will come to just the visit or come for both the visit and the picnic.
