Herboretum

Scientists regularly come to The Herboretum to make an inventory and count the plant and animal species present on the estate, as true indicators of biodiversity.
These inventories are very precious to evaluate the evolution of biodiversity.

Cornflower and Poppy Field (harvest plants)

This cereal field has been recreated with its accompanying ‘harvest’ plants, because they live at the rhythm of the harvests: cornflower, field poppy, corn cockle, etc.
This kind of a landscape has practically totally disappeared of our countryside because the herbicides have eliminated these plant species.

Corn poppy (Papaver rhoeas L.)

Cornflower (Centaurea cyanus L.)

Corn Marigold
(Glebionis segetum (L.) Fourr.)

Corncockle (Agrosthemma gitago L.)
