Plantation collective et proposition culinaire – Le MAT

The day will be devoted to : – hedgerows, living and remarkable monuments of the strips of land bordering the Loire; – trognes, rich sculptural ecosystems; – plesses, which tell the story of our interweaving and interdependence with the trees, plants, fruit and insects that live here with us; – And finally, the faggots, a reminder that care and restoration are possible.
