    Our first visit to the New Potager Extraordinaire near La Roche sur Yon. As keen gardeners, we were happy to see the well laid out gardens and interesting displays of allotment vegetables. The tomato tunnel was amazing - so many different varieties! The Gourd tunnel was only just ripening, so not too many gourds to see yet - I’ll have to return later in the season! The Potager has given us lots of ideas to take back to our own gardens! Friendly staff, a children’s play area in a shady area and a restaurant serving salads & sandwiches.

    Quite a bizarre and fun place to visit. Pumpkins hanging in trees, a plant that moves when you sing at it, a type of mint that smells of cola. Great for kids and adults alike.

    Great morning out and buying the produce. Really interesting, never seen as many tomatoes in my life!
