\n <\/span>From the vegetable garden to the orchard<\/span><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>[vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]The de Menthon family’s interest in nature is part of a lineage. In the 19th century, the orangery was built, and at the beginning of the 20th century, vegetable gardens were designed, followed by a greenhouse. The activity diversifies with the plantation of an orchard below. In the middle of the 20th century, Fran\u00e7ois de Menthon (1900-1984), as an elected official, worked for the purity of the water of Lake Annecy. Finally, since 2016, Maurice and Pierre-Henri de Menthon have given new life to the surroundings of the castle, not spared by time.<\/p>\n

Thus, a vegetable garden and orchard project was born. Since then, the 19th century garden has regained its vegetable plots, its medicinal square, its ponds, all not far from the old greenhouses now in use. The boxwood hedges remind us of the peacefulness of a structured nature, linked to a certain romanticism.<\/p>\n

Overlooking the lake, facing the sunset, the soil is quite favorable to the planting of an orchard. Thus, following in the footsteps of their great-grandfather, one hundred years later, Maurice and Pierre-Henri de Menthon decided to plant a new orchard.<\/p>\n

These initiatives have permaculture as their bonding principle. The rhythm of the earth is thus respected. In order to share these ethical values, a cycle of conferences integrates a variety of subjects related to this practice.[\/vc_column_text]\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>
