ACTIVITY
Since September 2022, the International Residential Centre of Lérins Islands from Cannes Jeunesse has set up an educational vegetable garden in the Fort Royal on Sainte-Marguerite Island. Two areas are cultivated and managed by Jérémy Houweling, the employee in charge of this project. A compost has been set up for the organic waste from the canteen and another composting area is dedicated to the green waste of the island. Jérémy leads participative workcamps with adults and educates children about vegetable gardening during holiday camps.
That visit was made in the framework of the ISOS Plus project, supported by the Interreg Marittimo France-Italy 2014-2020 Program.
