Discovery of nature - Despite the heat we enjoyed this park again installed in La Roche. We walk through the sometimes unknown fruit, vegetable and plant beds, admiring the staging that highlights them. Beautiful day of discovery

A vegetable garden worth a visit - A very large vegetable garden, we discover extraordinary plants, with surprising sizes and shapes.
Capucine teaches us a lot of things in a fun way. Very nice for the children.
We spent the day there because the workshops were so interesting.

Gorgeous vegetable garden worth every penny - This place is wonderful. It has such an abundance of beautiful veg, flowers and the space is so peaceful and serene even in high season. We have two kids aged 3 and 6 and the kids play area kept them amused for ages. Well worth the money and beautifully kept.

Beautiful park - Super family activity for nature lovers, gardening, plants. We stayed there 3 hours with the meal. We'll come back to that.
Small flat: the visit meets with the gardener, he does not announce his arrival, no particular clothes to identify him. He doesn't speak loudly, so you can't hear anything at four feet. And you almost have to run behind to follow him. We gave up from the beginning. Too bad, I'd probably have had questions to ask him and as soon as I could have learned.
The price of snack/meal a little high. At this price, I would have preferred everything organic, not just vegetables.
It's still a good time with the family. Very nice park. I love the eco-responsible side of the site and how it works.
Development idea: a route close to those who maintain the vegetable garden where they can be seen working and asking questions about the operation of the site for example.

Cultivated crop - The vegetable garden is quite large and diverse, with many varieties that I did not know. We come out even more cultivated! (like their seeds aha)
The staff inside are very nice, smiling and answer questions well.
On the other hand, some negative points: the Welcoming by the ladies at the entrance was not there... it was missing a smile, which is a shame. And we felt like we were disturbing..
On the other hand, at the exit, the staff had changed and there big smile, especially from the gentleman with white hair.
The park is big, with lots of discoveries, but unfortunately, at times we have to retrace our steps.
I really appreciate the places where you can drop off or pick up leaflets, like here. This avoids finding flyers anywhere. Thanks to them.
The park is very clean and well maintained.
I recommend this park: it is really nice! Remember to plan good shoes and no flip-flops aha! And a hat with that weather.
PS: You can book online before and would pay you less.

Disappointing - There is a noticeable difference between the advertising made and the location. Expertly the same plants, flowers, vegetables are handed over right and left for non-observers.
Me squash tunnel had only a few falling squash toasted foliage. Tomatoes apart from dark blacks and some roses are known. The dahlias are poorly represented. Mint walkways fill the spaces. A meal break a bladder salad bathed in water a lemon cake that seemed plain. An animator walking on the tables on which we have lunch!!! It puzzles... animals stuck to the walls looking for shade!!! Honestly, it touches. I am absolutely not green vegan products. But in love with animals, even my spouse was disgusted. Be careful when you go to the site you are switched to another site and you lose 5€ that in no case this EXTRAORDINARY garden offers you to refund. You become an able-bodied person. Clean toilet lots of bench. Shop without interest. What a disappointment.
