An ecological utopia realised
I'm not going to start describing this marvel that is Chambord. Others - well done before me, and that doesn't really correspond to the purpose of the "unusual Great West" which is to get off the beaten track!
But... but... let's say a word about its vegetable gardens, which are quite unusual in that they have adopted a permaculture approach, making its French-style vegetable gardens an ecological utopia come true.
Innovation, experimentation, we find here completely new practices that other large organic farms around the world are implementing, such as, for example, the Bec Hellouin farm in Normandy.
The harvested products arrive at their destination via a very short circuit including the visitors themselves, the restaurants of Chambord, the organic food shops in the region...
How about you?
Creating your own vegetable garden under the eye of Leonardo da Vinci is unusual, of course, but above all... it's not bad!
At Chambord, it is now possible.
Indeed, all this accumulated knowledge about permaculture, among other things, Chambord now provides it in the form of training courses. It's all about creating your own vegetable garden based on these principles, and guided by the very people who implement them.
As trainers, that's not bad!
It's all about learning how to create a vegetable garden that is beautiful and nourishing, harmonious and productive all year round.
With these trainings, you will know everything about "regenerative agriculture, diversified market gardening on small surfaces, arboriculture, wild and medicinal plants, drawing or creation of permaculture gardens". Nice program, isn't it?
Depending on your needs, you can spend a day, two days, a week...
