Garden Club visit

On Thursday, May 16th, the Garden Club will visit the Jardins de la Houssaye, located at La Houssaye, St Laurent du Mottay. (This is their official address. However, you will find them on Google Maps under “La Houssaye, Mauges-sur Loire”.)
The 1.5 hour guided tour will explain the principles of permaculture, and the history of medicinal and aromatic plants and vegetables. We’ll see a kitchen garden, a mandala garden, aromatic plants, and a greenhouse from the 19th century. We will also learn the history of the castle.
The cost for the visit is 10€ per person, and we can have snacks on premises afterward. You can find more information on their site: https://lesjardinsdelahoussaye.fr
If you would like to join for lunch, a noon lunch has been reserved for us at Un Chef Chez Moi, located at 8 Place Charles deGaulle, St Laurent du Mottay in Mauges sure Loire.
