Aromatic and medicinal plants discovery workshop
Do you like aromatic herbs, are you curious about the properties and uses of medicinal plants in the Middle Ages? Catherine offers you (with no extra charges or cost) a workshop to discover plants for domestic use for their virtues and beneficial properties, in the simple garden of the Donjon, Manoir and Jardin de la Salle.
A workshop for the whole family
Catherine Heine is an expert in wild, cultivated, medicinal and aromatic plants for domestic use. She is a graduate of the Lyonnaise School of Medicinal Plants and will introduce you to the recognition, cultivation and use of plants. This workshop is for the whole family: children are welcome and plant lovers will enjoy learning more about their virtues and how to recognize them and cultivate them in the garden. Welcome to the world of simple plants (plants with medicinal properties).
- The good idea: If you like pretty places with flowers, take a trip to the village of Saint-Léon-sur-Vézère, it is magnificent with all the flowers installed in the streets and on the banks of the Vézère river!
