SPECIAL EVENT
A blooming great day out at the
Botanical Gardens of La Gardie, Rousson
Sunday 15 September, 2019
Meet at the entrance at 10.00am
Discover the themed gardens of La Gardie with a botanical and ethnobotanical walk, led by your hosts Francis Lagarde and Suzette Blandina, the organisers of today's visit.
After the original visit of 8 May was rained out, the Arc'Avène Association are kindly organising a new visit for BritsNîmes members on Sunday 15 September. It may not be the best time to see all the flowers in bloom, but we guarantee it will be very interesting!
The visit will be followed by a picnic in the park.

The Jardins Ethnobotaniques de la Gardie are botanical gardens located in a former schoolyard at the Pont d’Avène. Organised as a series of woodland clearings illustrating the rural ethnobotany of the Cévennes, the gardens feature orchards and cereals of yesteryear, botanical, medieval and herb gardens, beehives, dry stone walls and a charcoal kiln. The gardens contain a range of local heirloom plants, including more than 60 varieties of vines, 23 types of olive trees; fruits and berries including arbutus, elderberry, jujube, loquat and mulberry, together with vegetables from the Middle Ages including cabbage, chicory, leeks, lettuce, onions, spinach, turnips and white beans.
Lunch
Bring your own picnic lunch, and we’ll enjoy a picnic together in the park
