Les vergers-potagers du château de Montigny-sur-Aube

Like all aristocratic residences, the castle of Montigny-sur-Aube was endowed in the 19th century with a superb orchard and vegetable garden, labelled "Remarkable Garden", of 5244m2 enclosed by walls - a real food garden - where several hundred varieties of fruit trees, in espaliers of various shapes or in counter-espaliers, cover all the 3.60m high walls and the ironwork arches in a skilful manner. In the centre of a cross of paths stands the gardener's pond and its beautiful Renaissance fountain, and in front of the melliferous garden a superb 19th century apiary where the pollinating bees are busy. As for the vegetable gardens, you will discover, in season, more than a hundred varieties of tomatoes in teepees in the middle of carnation patches, and in the frame garden, a whole collection of aromatic plants that supply the kitchen of the farmhouse with incomparable flavours. As for the red fruit gardens, in the middle of the quarter-stem plum trees, you will discover blackberry bushes and raspberry bushes well tamed in their ironwork. A whole 19th century know-how that the team of gardeners tries to perpetuate with passion and expertise and which is told to you, during your visit, thanks to the audioguide. Even a model located at the back of the apiary explains the principles
At certain times of the year, this unique place is also the site of a pruning and grafting course for the general public (on registration www.chateaudemontigny.com "Prepare your visit").
