The Textile Art & Craft Group and Marie-Paule Muller, leader of the group, have the pleasure to showcase their creations at the library from May 5 to June 22, 2021. Here is a sample from one of their projects.  We invite you to come and  discover their delicate work!

The garden club invites you to discover the beautiful gardens in the area!

The visit will start at 1:30pm, upon request of the company. It will be to Bouilhol Les artisans du végétal, Route de Grez Neuville, 49330 Sceaux d’Anjou. The wearing of a mask is mandatory throughout the visit.

They produce a wide range of flowers, from annuals to perennials, trees, shrubs and vegetables. They use integrated pest management methods in their cold glasshouses. You will be able to buy some plants from them at the end of the visit.

The visit will be only one week after the end of the current restrictions. However if all restrictions are not lifted by then, we may have to postpone the visit till May 20th (May 13th being a bank holiday). If things change, we will inform you as soon as possible.

This activity is open to library members and offers visits once a month to a garden between April and October. For more information and/or to sign up for this visit, please send an email to Sylvie Leys  at elliagardenclub@gmail.com.
