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
This is an oak tree and it is the masterpiece of the garden. First, because it is the highest plant of the garden and so it protects it from the wind or other dangers. The oak tree is also bringing nutrients for plants and animals with its roots and through its falling leaves and tassels. Finally, it is a symbol of the garden and is always beautiful and impressive.

« What’s that fruit ? you’re maybe asking yourself, and you’re not alone ! This is a medlar. Behind it spiky appearance, a sweet and sugary taste is hiding, like toffee apples. Surely, it doesn’t look as colourful and appetizing as cherries or apples but let’s give a chance to these little guys ! » Photo and caption by Quentin
The garden is full of surprising plants like… a willow! I was more expecting an apple tree than a willow in a garden. But the branches of this kind of willow are like wicker : they can be twisted as we want and we can use them directly in the garden, so I found it pretty smart. (text and photo by Enora)
