Hello garden lovers

🌸🌷
We are excited to invite you to this year’s Spring Garden Week!

In this format we focus on extenting our theoretical and practical skills by creating a new project every time.

🪻This spring’s project: A New Herbal Garden

We will create a herbal garden that blends naturally into the landscape of Le Moulin d’Abondance. Inspired by local flora and traditional knowledge, it will become a diverse space for medicinal herbs and flowers — offering natural remedies, beauty, and a place to reconnect with the healing power of plants.

🪻During this week, you will learn:

• Design and create a herbal garden in harmony with the land
• Learn about microhabitats and microclimats

• Build a dry stone wall as main structure

• What else the spring season demands of a garden: key tasks for spring maintenance, practical gardening techniques to prepare the soil and plants for a generous and healthy harvest

• Principles of organic gardening

• How to work with natural cycles

• How to observe and collaborate with nature

A week full of hands-on experience, inspiring theory and time to connect with the land.

  🪻Your expert this week: Sarah 

With roots in landscape architecture and years of experience as an organic gardener, Sarah guides the land at Le Moulin d’Abondance. For the Spring Garden Week, she will bring her professionalism to create a rich week of inspiring theory and hands-on practical skills, inviting participants to reconnect with nature and grow with the land.

🪻What to bring for the Garden Week:

• Comfortable, weatherproof work clothes 

• Solid gardening shoes or boots

• Gardening gloves (if you have some)

• A sun hat and rain gear (we work in all weathers)

• A water bottle and thermos

• A notebook and pen for theory inputs

• Curiosity, willingness to get your hands dirty, and a good dose of community spirit!

You can already arrive the 19.5 in the afternoon and tune in with us.

We will finish on SATURDAY 24.5. with nice brunch all together. 🥳

Those who wish can stay until sunday and join our collective for the “Fete des abeilles” – the local bee & biodiversity celebration, where we offer music and entertainment! 🐝

We will work morning and afternoon outside, depending on our capacities and celebrate the evenings together with music jams around the fire, cosy board games, relaxing sauna sessions.

The whole experience will be rounded off with nourishing vegan and vegetarian meals made from organic and locally sourced ingredients and amazing people with a really good vibe!

🪻Pricing:
The whole week is based on a “pay what you wish” system, meaning that at the end of the week YOU can feel for yourself how much this experience was worth to you!
