Description
The edible botanical jungle of Montclar is both a botanical garden, an orchard, a vegetable garden with a collection of bonsai. The site is managed as naturally as possible while respecting the fauna and flora. I take inspiration from permaculture by adapting the techniques to the specificities of the site.

You need to like nature and plants, no knowledge is needed. It is important to understand that it is meticulous work which need to be done in a specific way to reach a specific goal. So you will have to listen to me. The only think i need to be sure is that you can follow my instructions to do the job as if i had done it. But if you have a better way i will study it.
Most of the work is outdoor and manual but there is also an art level and personal work. We will be working together all the time except if you want to do a specific part alone.
It will be interesting if we can cook together. we will eat different vegetables from the garden. So cooking begins in the garden
