Event description

Plant swap and lecture


To get the year off to a good start, La P’tite Utopie is organising a plant swap on Saturday 20 January at the Salle des Sarments d’Or from 4pm.
Come along with your home-grown seeds, cuttings or transplants to share your abundance of plants. If you don’t have any plants to swap, don’t hesitate to come along anyway. We’ll be delighted to give you a wild cherry scion, a few reproducible tomato seeds or slivers of comfrey root, that invaluable edible and medicinal plant!

After the plant swap, at 8pm, we’ll be hosting a talk entitled “Regenerating my local authority: a matter of urgency and instructions for use”.

At a time when 80% of the French population lives in urban areas, our local authorities are facing a number of challenges: climate change, dwindling resources, ecological blindness, lack of food resilience, fragmentation of environments, mineralisation of soils, pollution, and so on.
The need to take action is becoming increasingly urgent, and the issue of planning is at the heart of the debate. How and where should we start?
Simon ROY, ecologist and ‘Urbaculteur’, combines personal experience and scientific knowledge to explore our individual and collective capacity to take action to regenerate our communities. A skilful blend of ecology, permaculture and urban planning, he invites us to take a cross-disciplinary approach and make our living spaces sustainable, inclusive, abundant and resilient.

An invaluable and inspiring insight for everyone: elected representatives, citizens, public and private sector professionals!

The plant swap and talk are free and open to all.
Refreshments and food will be available on site for those who want to extend this creative exchange!

We hope to see you again in 2024, and wish you a wonderful year full of wonder for living things!
