In a unique setting of 7 hectares in La Roche-sur-Yon, in the heart of Beautour (85), is the Extraordinary Vegetable Garden (Le Potager Extraordinaire).
Enter the world of Iris, a young, passionate botanist, and visit her vegetable garden through activities and guided tours throughout the day.
Explore the Bizarretum to discover curiosities ranging from the smallest to the largest vegetables, but also the Experimental Vegetable Garden which will give you all the keys to reproducing your own vegetable garden at home, without forgetting the Vegetable Library where you will find more than 1,500 varieties of vegetables. You will also discover the Graineterie, the unmissable gourd and tomato tunnels, a mini-farm, and many more... as well as the exotic vegetable garden and the erotic life of the vegetable garden.
