Would you like to get your hands in the soil? Want to learn how to grow vegetables? Would you like to put on your gardener's boots? Then this gardening workshop at Ferme de Gally in Saint-Denis is for you!

Course of the activity (2h30):

• You'll be welcomed with a hot drink by one of the farm's animators, who will accompany you throughout the activity and explain all about the vegetable garden.
• You'll enjoy a guided tour of our two hectares of fields and greenhouses, where cabbages, turnips, broad beans, spinach, lettuces, radishes, zucchinis, tomatoes and eggplants grow, and learn about the needs of the plants. You'll even be able to munch on a few cherry tomatoes, and even chillies for the bravest! You'll learn about soil life and how plants feed and grow. You'll also identify the different vegetable families and their seasonal characteristics.
• You'll then get your hands dirty sowing, transplanting, weeding, planting and harvesting in our vegetable garden!
• Finally, you'll sow a vegetable seed of your choice in a terracotta pot that you'll take home with you. Once it's grown into a plant and then a vegetable, it can be placed on your windowsill, in your garden or on your plate!

To prolong this moment of relaxation and discovery, you can enjoy our picnic area among the animals.

There's no parking at the farm, so allow plenty of time to find parking or to come by public transport.
