Journées européennes du patrimoine : Des outils, encore des outils !

Here’s a glimpse into the collection of a horticultural enthusiast: antique books, tools, medals and other objects related to vegetable, fruit, horticultural and botanical cultivation. After many years of research, we are now able to show you some of these items, some rare, some unusual, or just witnesses to a way of life and cultivation. These tools, which bear witness to the evolution of technology from the practical to the beautiful, are full of surprises: a mark buried beneath the rust, an astonishing mechanism, a haphazard transformation of a piece of iron for a particular use… On the occasion of its 10th participation, an exceptional presentation of documents on the nurseries of the Loiret will be offered.
