🌱 Eco Week – Spring 2026

Hands in the soil · Creativity in the land · Community in motion

Hello garden lovers 🌿

This spring, we invite you once again to step into the rhythms of the land and join us for a week of ecology, hands-on learning and collective creation at Le Moulin d’Abondance.

📅 Dates: Monday 19.05 – Saturday 23.05.2026

The Eco Week – Spring 2026 combines practical outdoor work, theoretical inputs, and shared life in community. We work on the land in real conditions, guided by the season and by experienced facilitators.

🌿 You want to learn?

• gardening and land-care work adapted to the season

• soil, plants and ecosystem awareness

• learning by doing, observing, adjusting

• understanding natural cycles: growth, balance, regeneration

Expect clear theoretical inputs, followed by lots of hands-on practice outside. 

🎨 Special project: Land Art & Festival Magic

A highlight of this spring edition: Land Art.

Together, we will work with natural materials found on site to create temporary art pieces in harmony with the landscape to create a magical decorative setting for this year’s festival stage

This is about beauty, playfulness and presence — letting creativity emerge from the land itself.

🐝 Sunday highlight: Local biodiversity celebration

On Sunday 24.05, there is the option to go together to the
“Festival of the Bee and Biodiversity”
(Fête de l’Abeille et de la Biodiversité)

A joyful way to close the week, connect with the local ecosystem, and celebrate pollinators, diversity and living landscapes beyond the Moulin.

🌱 During this week, you will experience

• Seasonal ecological work guided by an expert

• Practical skills in land-care, gardening and creative building

• Land Art as a collective, embodied process

• Time to connect deeply with nature and the place

• Community living: shared meals, evenings, fire, music, stories, sauna

• A balance of learning, doing and simply being

If you feel called to:

• are interested in permaculture and working with the land

• work with the land rather than on it

• learn through practice and presence

• contribute to a living place and leave a trace

• be part of a temporary, intentional community
