Rita explained the medicinal properties of the garden plants to us. She explained some things about the architecture of the very old building. We saw horses, the children were able to give them straw to eat. As the children don't speak English, Rita made an effort to communicate in French and we mixed several languages to understand each other, which is very nice. We made a herbarium together which really motivated my 8-year-old son. We ate a crumble and a drink with the products from the garden.
