Where to do Horticulture Languedoc Roussillon

For all the happy owners of potted trees - literal translation of the word bonzaï - the club of Béziers and its graduate teachers by the French federation - FFB - introduces to art, culture and bonsai creation. Every fortnight, on Friday evening, at the premises of the Maison de la vie associative, some fifteen enthusiasts improve their knowledge of the culture of these dwarf trees. The club participates in ad hoc exhibitions and at the national congress, each June, during which the competition of the most beautiful bonzaï is organised.

Since 1876, this national organization and its local correspondents inform, advise and distract all persons interested in horticulture. In Béziers, the association has over 200 family members, who share the same passion for the garden and the plant world. From September to June, most often on the ground, members meet once a month to discuss seasonal topics - size, land preparation, planting, treatment - under the leadership of external facilitators or stakeholders. The association regularly initiates the youngest in gardening and participates in the programme to combat misery Gardens for others.

Founded in 1860, the Société d'Horticulture et d'Histoire Naturelle de l'Hérault groups together several sections dedicated to the observation and study of biodiversity. At this Montpellier-based institution, you can take part in a wide range of activities relating to botany, entomology, geology and mycology. Exhibitions, lectures, introductory field trips... each activity will pass on the knowledge of nature experts, with passion. There's also an extensive library to help you expand your knowledge. On Monday afternoons, you can even take part in a free mushroom identification course.
