  • Come rain or shine, the public must be welcomed and the gardens maintained daily. Growing traditional perfume plants, conserving the agricultural landscape, protecting the biodiversity: the gardeners have many tasks! Their role is to enrich the collections of plants for the olfactory route, and develop the gardens so the walk through them is increasingly pleasant and fragrant. They actively welcome and inform the public offering guided tours or gardening workshops. But often, during passionate conversations, when turning down a lane, they reveal the knowledge passed down by generations of gardeners and farmers.
