Garden Visits @ Vessy

This month exceptionally the 2nd Thursday!

Join us on the 3rd Thursday of each month as we explore private gardens around Switzerland and neighboring France.  Selected gardens are generally within a 2hr driving radius of Geneve.  We have carefully chosen private gardens (ie not public parks) classified ‘exceptional’.

This AIWC Garden Visit will be to the Le Coteau in Vessy

Join us as we discover a secret garden, tucked away in Vessy.  Gorgeous trees, a potager & orchard & other surprises. Numbers are limited so please register early (here).  Additionally, we ask you to bring something for a shared picnic afterwards. 

This Garden is easily accessible by bus 41 (Vessy Plateau stop) or buses 11 & 21 (Bout du Monde).  Thereafter, a short walk to the gardens.  After registrtation you will receive more specific directions.

Entry to the garden is free.
