Rosemary

At the entrance of the garden, we can see a flowerbed with rosemary. A part of this is in flower. These are beautiful purple flowers and they match perfectly with the forest green of the rosemary. You can have one in your own garden and it doesn’t require too much maintenance. You can eat some sprigs if you want. Text and photo by Erwann.

Squash Leaves


The shape of these leaves spreads out like a trumpet, allowing them to collect water in the center. Additionally, the overlapping leaves cover the surrounding area, providing hiding spots for small creatures. This suggests the presence of a small ecosystem. Among the visitors I observed were crane flies, ants, and bees. Text & Photo by Kaito

Tipula


« A little Tipula who wanted to chill out on a butternut’s leaf. In this position, she looks like a tightrope walker. Because of the thinness of her legs and the vivid green of the leafs, it’s difficult to see her in the first sigh but when we saw it once, we cannot see anything else! » Text and photo by Maxime

Butternut Flowers


Behind the garden, near the old compost, we found those butternut plants, sprinkled with butternut flowers. I believe that those flowers illustrate the richness of the organic world: even the flowers can be turned in a delicious meal. Don’t hesitate to cook them in butternut-flower fritters and you will see. Text and photo by Eugénie

Water

I always feel that the role of water features in landscape gardening is as important as eyes are to humans. Now Jardin Pontanique has its algae green eyes. Text and photo by Mengyang

Walnuts


When we were on our way to the garden, we stopped by an intriguing  tree, on that had fruits unknown to me. Whilst they resembled lemons from afar, they turned out to be walnuts, which I had never seen embedded in such green smooshy matter : as it turns out, we only eat the walnut when it’s fully rotten!

Lavender


The actuel smell of lavender is a little bit pungent for me. Unfortunately in this season it’s not fully bloomed, but we can see the bud at the top is blooming.  Text and photos by Jianlong

Crazy Nature


Very cute mushrooms that grew on the top of the dry wood, stored to work in the garden after. With a little more time, their number might increase a lot. How crazy nature is, it managed to create plants and food out of something we did not expect! Text and photo by Romane

Sedum


Here you can see a picture of a Sedum. This plant is native to China, where it is commonly used as a decoration. The harmony of the colors makes it really elegant. I like it because it looks like a small and pretty pink cauliflower, which is one of my favorite vegetables. Text and photo by Boris

Hazelnuts

I was really moved to see a hazelnut tree and to pick a hazelnut from it, because the last time I saw one was a long time ago when – in my grandmother’s garden – we ate them with my cousins. It brought back fond memories! Text and photos by Anaïs
