Paysage du marais poitevin

Our story

Pépinière du Palais takes its name from the river that runs along our plots, in the marshlands of Poitou-Charentes.

🌍

Preserved land

This land has never seen a motorised vehicle or a chemical product. The soil is intact — rich with marshland fauna and flora that we protect.

🪵

Living beds

80 cm to 1 metre wide, 3 to 9 metres long, framed with logs. Each bed is an ecosystem: wild herbs grow until spring, pulled by hand, left in place. The soil feeds itself.

🌳

50 mother plants

Hazelnuts, figs, vines, raspberries, lavender, thyme, artichokes, elephant garlic, perpetual leeks. Planted last year, they grow in the marshland terroir.

♻️

3,000 reclaimed pots

From a former nursery. Nothing bought, everything reused. Our plants ship in pots or bare root depending on species and season.

🌿

Fig trees among the rushes

Here, fig trees grow literally among the rushes. A hole, some leaves, a wire mesh — nature does the rest.
