A beekeeping, market-gardening and orchard day in the countryside

Description

Our orchard lies on the banks of the Bièvre river, far from noise and cars. We offer workshops around our main activities: - Garden workshop: gardening, making a willow shade structure, etc. - Beehive workshop: introduction to the life of a hive, safe observation using an observation frame, maintenance of small equipment. - Orchard workshop: clearing around the trees and maintenance — the orchard is almost 2 hectares, the trees are more than 40 years old. - LPO workshop: building nesting boxes.
