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

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

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

Ecosystems

This garden pond hosts a diverse range of ecosystems. It is home to a frog, mosquito larvae, newts, and small black water bugs that travel between the water’s surface and the pond’s depths, feeding and contributing to the vibrant, dynamic life within this tranquil aquatic habitat.

More Detail

Stopping and enjoying a break sometimes enables us to observe our environment in greater detail. Here, a bee at work is collecting pollen from a rosemary in bloom in late summer.  Text and photo by Charlotte.

Small Wonders


Behind the imposing concrete walls of École des Ponts, life quietly unfolds in hidden corners. This young plant, with its soft green hue and delicate leaves, thrives unnoticed, a testament to nature’s resilience. While students and professors focus on grand engineering feats, these small wonders persist, reminding us of the often overlooked beauty that can flourish in even the most unexpected places. Life finds its way, pushing through, creating moments of serenity and growth amidst the hustle of academic pursuits. Photo and text by Emad
