Meeting at the gardens - The garden of Pastille and Cachou

Perched on the hills above Lapoutroie, discover the Pastille et Cachou garden, a true haven of biodiversity.

Come and see how, over the past 30 years, this ornamental and kitchen garden has grown from scratch on reclaimed land to become a sanctuary of well-being, yet just a stone’s throw from the busy D415 road.

Here you can enjoy a variety of ornamental and vegetable crops. You’ll also see how all these resources provide raw materials for the Pastille and Cachou Workshop, an eco-recycling craft business with the ‘Eco-Défi’ label, thereby helping to support its circular self-sufficiency.

Come and explore this inspired garden, which combines various permaculture techniques and uses its natural resources—rocks and willow fences—to create a range of eco-recycled sculptures, functional objects and decorations.

And of course, a wide variety of plants awaits you, arranged in a carefully studied disorder—sometimes symbolic, sometimes useful, sometimes decorative—to feed the imagination and bring a deep sense of well-being.

Whether you’re a keen enthusiast or simply curious, you’re very welcome!
