The garden is open and working thanks to the support and enthusiasm of friends and family.

Georges Beylard created the garden with his daughter Véronique. String and pruner in hand, he makes sure the garden is kept in shape everyday thanks to a keen eye for detail. In winter, he pours over catalogs and magazines with his daughter, looking for new varieties to add to and embellish the garden.

Nicole Beylard, his wife is always happy to greet people, have a chat and make the delicious rose petal jam served with the cream teas. She has perfected her recipe over the years and is keen to share it with those who might be interested. 
.
 
Véronique Glad, the owner of the garden, is passionate about the well being of people through her profession as a therapist, but also that of her family, the garden, the flowers and the birds. She loves hearing your impressions and thoughts on the garden, as well as any stories you might want to tell, and hopes that the garden brings you peace and joy.

Cécile, the neighbour is essentially a part of the family and fell in love with the garden when she moved into the house next door. She will greet you warmly, and looks after the many details that make the garden what it is. She has carefully written out poems on the slates you will see dotted around the garden, and makes little objects and accessories that you can find in the shop. 
.
Christophe Glad, co-owner of the garden with his wife Véronique participates in the pruning, cutting and trimming, maintaining the tools and planting new things. He enjoys the garden as a way to find a balance with his profession as an Osteopath. His practice room is at the top of the garden. He puts his creative talents to use in the constantly evolving garden. He is also in charge of carefully selecting the coffee that you can find in the tea room!

James Glad, Christophe’s father has made himself indispensable as the garden’s handyman, helping to make it a well looked-after.
..
Eloïse, the eldest of the girls, is in charge of the website and visual communication, but also participates in greeting visitors and serving in the tea room.  
.
Margot, the youngest loves to garden, greet people and serve teas. 
.  
But the list doesn’t stop here. We have a large family and everyone is keen to help out as and when.

The welcome team also includes Merlin and Tigrou, the two cats who will be happy to get a pat and a hug, or just to follow you around.
