Garden Club visit

On Thursday, September 5, we will visit the Chateau Colbert potager & butterfly exposition in Maulévrier.  The original plans for this garden date from the 18th century, and the 8000 square meter, organic kitchen garden was twice elected the “plus beau potager de France” (in 2016 and again in 2021).  The one-and-a-half-hour visit is guided by the jardinier-potagiste, who will explain the secrets of a kitchen garden, and talk about some forgotten vegetables and aromatic herbs.  The butterfly house is the private collection of the owner’s son who is a passionate entomologist.  The cost of this visit is 9€.

 

We will meet for lunch beforehand at 12:00. A reservation has been made at Le Cheval Blanc, 12 rue St Pierre, St Pierre des Echaubrognes.  They offer a menu du jour (entrée/plat poisson ou viande/dessert) for 16,90€.

 

Please send an email to GardenClubELLIA@yahoo.com no later than August 22nd if you are interested, indicating whether you will come to just the visit or come for both the visit and the lunch.
