Visit – presentation by the owner of the Poulaines estate project selected as an emblematic site as part of the Bern-loto heritage mission
Schedule : 2.30 p.m. – 5 p.m.
The project consists of restoring the two outbuildings which are in an advanced state of danger, nicely articulated in a “U” in front of the Manor and which structure and frame the most designed part of the garden.
These two buildings have the future vocation of giving new impetus to the area, with a new proposition to the public making it possible to accommodate a permanent exhibition room on plants, and collections, bio diversity and the preservation of nature, but also temporary spaces, to accommodate groups and schools and to intensify activities, workshops, etc.
Future activities and projects: Planting a collection of shrubs, planting old pear and apple trees and traditional vines in collaboration with the Société Pomologique du Berry. Continuation of the events already initiated, and concerts, continuation of the collaboration with “Indre et Nature” (Flora and Chiroptera Inventory) and on the theme of water.
Raise awareness among young audiences about biodiversity but also make them dream with the playful staging of imaginary characters in the arboretum in line with the legends of Berry. Exhibitions and workshops for children on these themes.
