Edible wild plants sometimes hide and grow in low walls
Go on a discovery of wild plants and their taste properties with Marie, ethnobotanist. Marie never stops sharing her knowledge and passion for wild plants in all their dimensions: botanical, medicinal, edible, fun, craft, symbolic, ethnobotanical ...
Marie has her own medicinal garden, 'L'hermitage', which is an ideal spot for observing plants, making herbal teas and welcoming the public. In the summer months, courses and covered sessions are organised to learn how to identify, pick and dry the plants to make herbal teas.
