Our first visit: Interesting gardens set in rolling countryside just outside Bailleul. There are two gardens and we chose to visit the wild plant area only. Check the website for opening times and pricing.
The wild plant garden is not huge but packed with borders separated by grass and gravel paths. Surrounded by old woodland, the garden is quite sheltered and has areas of different soil types and habitats to allow plants from all regions to thrive. There are plenty of signs identifying the plants and these have the French, Latin and English names.
Do not expect to see formal planting. These are wild plants and they grow as they would in their natural environments.
There are toilet facilities and a small shop/ticket office.
This is a peaceful and interesting place to visit if you are in the area or have a keen interest in botany.
Fort de ses 33 ans.
Que dire de plus.
Multi-écosysteme avec un très belle répartie fouillie avec un savoir-faire digne des plus beaux jardins.
Dans la partie conservatoire, interdite au public sauf lors de la journée porte ouverte.
Il manque quelques parcelles avec du sable de dune. Dommage mais logique car ce n’est pas trop légale d’en déplacer à moins d’une dérogation (mais pour l’obtenir, ben, c'est du métier aussi).
Ou alors travailler avec l’o.n.b (office national de la biodiversité).
Car je prends l’exemple du choux des dunes.
Mais comment passer de son endroit conservatoire qui est en quasi en terre.
À du sable quasi pur des dunes??
Nota : J’approuve son éloignement de la ville ou des villes. Comment faire de la conservation ou de l’un inrétroduction si son cadre environnemental n’est pas quasi-parfait.
Nota bis: est-ce que les orchidées autochtones comme l’orchidée abeille ou bouc, seront à l’étude ou sont déjà été à l’étude?
Notamment, après sa floraison ou fructification ou encore après sa fane (partie végétales qui est bruni ou faner ), sa résistance à la taille .
