TREES, MAN'S DOCTER

Through 16 educational reading tables (in french only) you will learn the virtues and medicinal uses of 15 species of trees present in the Arboretum. Created by Ludivine COLAS, psychologist and practitioner in Traditional European Medicine (TCM), trained at the Professional School of Naturopathy in Lausanne, this route guides visitors to meet the 15 trees. Enthusiastic about botany and phytotherapy, Ludivine grew up in the Creuse and its nature. She wishes to give back to this region some of what she was able to learn from it through projects to raise awareness and respect for its plant heritage .
Each reading table is illustrated with an original painting by Thérèse RAUTUREAU. Passionate about plants, Thérèse has illustrated the plant world through numerous collaborations. She lives on the Ile d'Aix in Charente Maritime.
