As part of the European Heritage Days, artist and botanist Thomas Ferrand is organising an event that will focus on the garden at the Cité internationale des arts in Montmartre.
During this visit-like event, he will talk about why this exceptional garden in the heart of Paris is so interesting and present the fauna and flora that he discovered here during his two residencies at the Cité. He will also be presenting his ethnobotanical work, notably talking about edible wild plants.
