Vincent Abolivier and his companion Pascal L’Hermite have created a superb garden in Landrévarzec, in the south of Finistère, 10 minutes from Quimper.
Part of this garden will soon become a shared garden. A way for Vincent to meet the needs and desires of those who live in apartments and in houses without a garden:
“I work in the medico-social environment, and the health crisis had an undeniable impact on the development of this project. With my companion, we wondered at length about the ambient gloom, about the state of mind of those and those who live in apartments or in houses without gardens.
We have therefore decided to open up part of our land – around 300 square meters – to keen gardeners or people who want to garden but do not have much experience.”
“The relationship to the land is important to us. We wanted to share our space of freedom, in the countryside.”

The plot can accommodate between 5 and 6 people or families. A single imperative: commit to not using products that are harmful to nature. A garden in Landrévarzec is indeed an LPO (Bird Protection League) refuge.
Beneficiaries can be beginners or experienced, growing the vegetables or flowers they want. They can come with their own tools or use materials made available to them. Watering is not a problem, the garden has a large water reserve.
Vincent and Pascal will also be available for advice: “We will be resource people. To give advice on gardening, on equipment, on crop rotation to those who come to grow their vegetables in our garden. We leave carte blanche but we will always be there for the gardeners.”
If you wish to benefit from one of the plots of the shared garden, you will find the contact details of Vincent and Pascal on their website Un jardin à Landrévarzec.

You will also find on the site the dates of opening of the garden to the public, for the year 2022.
Note in your diary: May 7 and 8, the garden participates in the “Open Gardens for Neurodon” operation. Part of the profits are donated to the Federation for Brain Research. Since the start of the operation in 2003, the 295,000 visitors to the “Open Gardens for Neurodon” have raised 586,000 euros. The map of open gardens for the 2022 edition will be available for consultation at the beginning of April on the Federation’s website.
