Activity description :

Vegetables, soil and the job of a market gardener

This day is an opportunity to discover the techniques of yesterday, today and tomorrow, through fun workshops for children and guided tours for adults.

Our market gardeners will be on hand all day to pass on their passions through tours and workshops.
