Since the start of the school year, Julie Andrieu has returned to France 3 with a new program called “Les potagers de Julie” and broadcast every Saturday at 4:15 p.m. After traveling all over France aboard her little “Micheline”, Stéphane Delajoux’s companion decided to leave her convertible at rest and put on boots to plunge her hands into the ground. Tips for sowing and growing, meetings with passionate amateur gardeners and cooking recipes of course on the program, the host has not finished learning. The latter also says that she is almost a novice when it comes to vegetable gardens.
“If I know a ray in the kitchen, this is not the case for the production of the raw material. Finally, it’s a shame not to really know how vegetables grow. I was raised in the city and I didn’t know this transmission from the vegetable garden by parents or grandparents. I really wanted to learn and, as I have always lived my adventures through television such as travel or cooking, the idea came to make this show. I do not hide my lack of experience and knowledge in the matter because I find it interesting that the viewer can identify with me“, she says in an interview with TV Mag for Le Figaro.
A new experience during which Julie Andreu now faces new difficulties. “Obtaining vegetables that we have planted represents a satisfaction that I did not suspect. But, making a vegetable garden is also a real lesson in humility because we are extremely dependent on factors that we do not control, such as the climate. We have to adapt and try to limit our water and energy resources as much as possible.“, she explains.”I try to save as much water as possible so when I wash my vegetables or cook them, I keep this water to put back in the vegetable garden. These are small reflexes that I acquired in contact with all the people I met. I also realized that I was generating a lot of waste and it made me think about my lifestyle“, she revealed.
