POTTING WORKSHOP
Saturday, October 2 from 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm
Since 2017, the 68 trees of the future Grand Paris Express station forecourts, destined to swarm and generate a real urban forest, memory and matrix of the shared project Appel d’air, are growing in the urban nursery Vive les Groues. Paulownias tomentosa need to be repotted in order to survive their dormancy period. Inhabitants of the Greater Paris area, come and learn or improve your arboricultural, biological and technical knowledge, by participating in Appel d’air, a living, participative and social work.
Presentation of the work Appel d’air From 14H00 to 14H30
Participatory potting of Paulownia tomentosa From 2:30 to 5:30 pm
Exchange and discussion with the Appel d’air team around an aperitif at the Buvette Samba of Vive les Groues From 17H30 to 18H00
