"It's a garden with 2 heads and 4 hands",say Dominique and Benoît Delomez. These visual artists began the creation of this contemporary green space in 2000, before deciding to open it to the public. On a surface area of 3,000 m², more than 1,200 varieties of plants, perennials, grasses, shrubs... and, as a special feature, a collection of 135 ferns. Full of poetry, punctuated with water features and sculptures, it invites contemplation and meditation. Every year, new items are added to the site. Perennial works punctuate the visit.
