Located next to the René Cassin college, the forest garden in Gond-Pontouvre is a collective space that harmoniously combines fruit trees, berry bushes, vegetables, and wild plants, resembling a forest. This productive gardening model, requiring little watering and maintenance, promotes biodiversity and serves as a source of inspiration for amateur gardeners.
The maintenance and animation of this garden, one of the few of its kind in the agglomeration, have been entrusted to the Compagnons du Végétal (Companions of the Plant). Meetings, workshops, and work parties are regularly organized and open to all. Eco-delegates from the college, children from the leisure center, and the Young People's Municipal Council are actively involved.
This public communal space, used for walks and encounters, is now seeking volunteers who wish to contribute to its life and development, alongside Alice, the animator from the Compagnons du végétal.
Interested individuals wishing to join the regular meetings are invited to contact the Compagnons du végétal at 0651316440 or by email at contact@lescompagnonsduvegetal.fr.
