A walled garden with water garden, labyrinth orchard, medieval cloister, vegetable garden, undergrowth, pergola, rose garden, potted garden..
Behind the scenes, Clos Alexandre was a vegetable garden and feeder, created by Alexandre Lemaître in 1932. For about thirty years, Alexandre, Meline, Madeleine and Albert were making this end of the campaign, initially located at the edge of Amiens. They won the crassane pears, the With Hardy, the Countess of Paris, but also the apples Jacques Lebel and many other varieties, assisted in their task by Father Gros, "great priest of fruit trees". At the time, the orchard produced as long as 3 000 bottles of cider were shot a year! The vegetable garden was the case of Father Wallet, "great authorising officer for vegetables". Three generations made this beautiful garden prosper, and then embroussailla for thirty years before the hand of Alexander Lemaître, Alexander's son, was restored in 1992. The marvel that has taken root again in the Saint-Honoré neighbourhood, on the southwest outskirts of Amiens - near campus - has asked him for ten years of work. Several collections animate this garden in a fence surrounding a former hunting lodge: delphiniums, Viburnums, Érables in Japan and netherlands in particular. You will discover 250 species and 1 500 varieties of trees and flowers, covering an area of about 5 000 m ². Clos Alexandre now deploys beautiful gardens in the bedroom: water garden, labyrinth, medieval cloister, garden garden, sous, pergola, roseraie, jardin garden, etc.
