Potted flowers
Dear all,
Summer decorations are in full swing in these pots from Ateliers Vierkant.
Custom-made decorations in SR120, U40 and U70 pottery.
Planting trend to end June 2024
Dear all,
With the arrival of sunshine and warm weather at the end of June, we now have ideal conditions for planting and developing flower carpets and seasonal decorations (Floriades de l'Arnon, Serres de Noisy).
Excessive water and cool temperatures have certainly slowed plant development and establishment, but soil preparation and incorporated soil improvers (BIO 3G), both in the seasonal decorative areas and in the beds, trees and shrubs, now ensure a fine balance for all the plants on the site, especially the hydrangeas, whose intense color and foliage give a boost to the seasonal blooms. Don't forget that, like the Gardens of Babylon, this garden is also suspended from a roof terrace.
A lovely summer to all, full of color and lightness.
Inauguration of the Roger Pradier plant after more than 2 years' work
As a partner and retailer of the range, we were invited to attend the inauguration of the factory extension and modernization in Châteauroux, to ensure more environmentally-friendly production. It was an exciting day, with a tour of both the modernized and the old production units, and a demonstration of the know-how of the teams on site, highlighting the company's EPV (Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant) label.
We're delighted and proud to be working with the Roger Pradier range, and their "made in France" expertise, and to be able to offer it for sale through our designs and creations, as well as for direct sale at our showroom in Viroflay (78).
Spring flowers 2024
Dear all,
Last year, we showed you the progress of our landscaping carried out in Spring 2022. This year, with a cool, rainy climate, and thanks to work to improve soil structure using the BIO 3G Paysage et Agricole range, we have vigorous, resistant and flowering plants. This soil improvement has resulted in the deflocculation of marl and clay, the return of earthworms and the establishment of a biotope conducive to the integration of composts already present in the soils of this site.
The response time of barely two years for plant establishment and growth at this stage is more than satisfactory, given the historically unstructured soils with marl and clay on one side and compost on the other, and the excess water associated with the watertight nature of the masonry planters. To date, although water is still present, the compost is beginning to integrate with the marl and clay, allowing evaporation to take place more easily thanks to a much finer soil grind and better air circulation.
Don't hesitate to contact us for your soil and plant management needs.
Harmonizing flowering with flowerbeds
Dear all,
The bespoke manufacture of flower carpets to cover the Atelier Vierkant pottery on the site enabled us to harmonize our flowering with the flower beds. The result confirms our determination to pursue this homogeneity between carpets and flowerbeds.

Spring Blooms 2024
Dear all,
Spring graces us with these warm and colourful blooms, even if the rains of the last few months have weakened or even handicapped some biennials. This new pattern of floral carpets from the Floriades de l'Arnon is at its peak in this month of April.

Flowers in vases and pots
Dear all,
This autumn, we finalised our project to combine the flower carpets present in the flower beds with the custom-made flower carpets for the flowers of the vases and pots of the Atelier Vierkant.
We now have a unity of frames, heights and colours for all the flowers in biennials, perennials and bulbs until spring.
Autumn Flower Rugs 2023
Dear all,
The biennial, perennial and bulb flower mats have taken their place in the beds of this site, but also in the pots and basins.
With the help of the Floriades de l'Arnon, we were able to harmonize the flowers of the beds and the flowers of the natural pottery of the Vierkant Workshops, thanks to custom-made carpets. With a little cold, biennials and perennials will be in bloom and foliage throughout the Fall and Winter.
In spring, bulbs and perennials will give volume and new colours to the biennials, which will also grow.
Geia, the new experimental pottery space from Ateliers Vierkant
We accepted an invitation from Ateliers Vierkant, a family-run business based in Oostende (Belgium), to celebrate its 30th anniversary on October 5 and 6.
Presentation of their new showroom, and their new inspirations for pottery, textures and colors. Guided tour of the entire manufacturing process through their multiple work spaces, and meetings with craftsmen, designers, potters, etc... . Discussions with professionals from all over Europe and the world.
There was plenty of inspiration, and you'll be able to take advantage of the entire Vierkant range for all your landscaping projects, both exterior and interior (patios, verandas, living rooms, private and corporate communal areas, etc.).
Pottery round tray Atelier Vierkant
As an alternative to a project that came to nothing, we suggested to our customer, who wanted to find a purpose for this fountain center, the installation of an Atelier Vierkant model SR120 pottery. In the range of natural clay shades, the "Nordic White" color, close to the color of the stones on the site, was chosen.
This month, we put it in place, and the next step will be to fill the tray with a growing medium, to accommodate flower carpets made up of bisanuelles and bulbs.

Spring carpet flowers
It's Spring!
In autumn, you were able to follow the installation of flower carpets in our customer's spiritual gardens. The spring freshness and the benefit of the autumn and winter rains have enabled the flower carpets to arrive in good shape for this spring. Day after day, we are witnessing a succession of volumes and a profusion of colors that underline the beauty of the gardens.
Spring at the Bedford Hotel
Dear all,
It's Spring on the roof terrace of the Hotel Bedford in Paris.
In autumn, we hand-planted all the biennials, bulbs and decorative cabbages in the flowerbeds, which, with their box-tree embroidery, emphasize the restaurant's glass roof and skylights. The garden is visible from the hotel rooms, for the pleasure of the eyes only. The colors were chosen by the client in keeping with the historical colors used in the hotel's decoration.
IPM Essen
Hello everyone,
In search of species and varieties of evergreen trees for a specific landscaping project, I went to the IPM ESSEN trade fair in Essen, Germany.
It's always interesting to see and understand how our European colleagues operate and work. An enriching show with some wonderful discoveries.
Flower carpets: three weeks later
Good morning, everyone,
It's three weeks since the flower carpets were installed.
Planting is going well, with significant growth, offering beautiful volumes, for these very flowery and colorful biennials plants with a few acidulous notes in this Autumn.

Autumn Flower Carpets
Even if summer is playing for time, we have realized the installation of the flower carpets in seasonal bi-annual decoration, with incorporation of spring bulbs and coverage in medium and fine mulches.
The advantage of these floral carpets is that they are made from 100% biodegradable fabrics and seams. It is quite natural that the summer floral carpets could be sent to a green recycling platform, to end up in green compost that can be reused in any landscaping and sold by us.
Colors and blooms to be found in Spring.

ÖGA Exhibition
While I was in Switzerland, I had the pleasure to visit with Mr. Yan Portellano, Head Gardener of the Temple Gardens in Bern, the ÖGA Landscape Exhibition which took place from June 29 to July 01, 2022.
An exotic show with singularities, technologies, innovations, materials sometimes specific to the Swiss market and its geographical situation, in the site of a green trade school and its magnificent application gardens and arboretum, located in a valley between the Jura mountains and the Swiss Alps.
A very good moment of sharing, with beautiful discoveries and good moments of exchanges, in particular on the stand of BIO3G Switzerland, which had been kind enough to send me an invitation to visit this magnificent exhibition.
A show to discover, whose next edition should be in June/July 2024.

Summer decorations
On this first day of summer, it's time for summer decorations!
On this site, which we monitor with regard to amendments and organic fertilisers, as well as phytosanitary and agronomic management, and for which we carry out all the tree, shrub, architectural and topiary pruning, there is a mixture of late spring and early summer flowering, in particular perennials, shrubs but also different species and varieties of rosebushes, some of which will be planted in Autumn in 2020 and 2021. The installation of flower carpets from Floriades of the Arnon is starting to grow, taking possession of its growing mediums, aided by the heat and the rainstorms.
This is a particularly attractive season because of the range of colours, and thanks to good pest management, all the foliage and flowers can look their best!

Obtaining the DU C-SIGAD at IUGA
Dear all,
May saw the completion of the training for a D.U., concerning the elaboration of maps in GIS adapted to arboriculture and the environment as far as I was concerned. It was through the Institut d'Urbanisme et de Géographie Alpine that I was able to follow this training at the Cermosem du Pradel in the CFPPA Olivier de Serres, taught by Mr Nicolas Robinet, Mr Pascal Mao and all the speakers who took part. Thanks to the IUGA's formula for this D.U., "to apply GIS to our jobs", I was able to use GIS, and more particularly the QGIS software, to geolocate plant species with attribute data.
We are now able to offer our knowledge and expertise in tree management, coupled with digital mapping. We will be sure to share our work with you as we go along.
Thanks to all the teaching and administrative teams of the Pradel site. But also a big thank you to all the learners who made up this 2022 session for the quality of the exchanges, the good mood and the good atmosphere that accompanied us and united us during these 15 days of training spread over these 5 months, from January to May.
Yours sincerely, Nicolas Gobert.
Evolution of a garden
Well done to all of you,
You could discover the evolution of this garden designed and restructured in Spring/Summer 2021.
Now it is in full growth and the plants are beginning to adapt to their new agronomic and climatic environment.
We remain attentive, within the framework of its follow-up, to the care to be lavished on the soils and the plants, but also in their management in the perspective of the graphic restitution (arboricultural and architectural pruning) and floral (chromatic range).

Lawnmower robot
For the second year, the robot is still involved in the maintenance of the lawns. Its presence and its daily work, following the soil improvement work and the installation of the lawn two years ago, have enabled us to maintain a supple, aerated soil, with an excellent level of grass growth, limiting the intrusion of moss and weeds.

Tree pruning
Example of tree pruning on a Nyssa synensis, of the type: pruning for the formation of the branch and the bud, which has not been done until now. Planting carried out on the site in 2017.
On a Cedrus Deodara, tree pruning of the type: reduction, alignment and sanitary pruning (dead wood). Conifer located at the corner of a property, with an imperative request from the neighbourhood to keep the plant within the limits of the client's property. Tree pruning carried out out of obligation, with a desire to have as little impact as possible on the physiology of the plant and to minimise the mechanical risks associated with the intervention.

Achievement of level 2 (of 2) of the QTRA licence
Dear all,
After obtaining Level I of II last February, I obtained Level II of II of the QTRA (Quantified Tree Risk Assessment) licence in October, at the Atelier de l'Arbre, a training course led by Mike Ellison (creator of the QTRA licence) and William Moore.
The QTRA method provides a simple mathematical assessment of the risks associated with tree tipping and breakage. It eliminates subjectivity, allows controlled decision-making and leads to a reasoned allocation of resources and management of the tree stock.
This certification is the culmination of a year rich in training on the theme of trees, green/blue and black webs, while reinforcing my fields of competence in these areas and allowing me to have an ever broader and more complete vision of tree management and expertise, in connection with ecology and the urban and peri-urban environment.
Thanks again to William Moore and Mike Elisson for the quality of their teaching and the richness of the debates with the other learners, which were always very exciting.
See you soon for more news.
Yours sincerely, Nicolas Gobert.

The World of Mycorrhizae
Dear all,
Back at the Atelier de l'Arbre, I was able to follow the training on Mycorrhizae, co-hosted by William Moore, Pierre-Emmanuel Courty and Claude Murat. A fascinating universe and surprising and captivating binocular and microscopic analyses! Root preparations based on the book by Jean Garbaye.
This training course supports 10 training courses carried out and led by William, which has enabled me to give a new dimension to my work and my professional orientation on arboricultural expertise.

Meeting with Roger Pradier
After the ceremonies at the Mairie de Paris, where Roger Pradier® was patron of the events, I had the pleasure of being invited to the Architect @ Work exhibition in Paris. On the stand Roger Pradier® I met up with Mr Stéphane Joyeux, Designer, and Ms Cécile Thévenin, our regular sales representative. Our agendas allowed us to discuss the "iciéla" project, equipped with LEDs for plants. We are discussing with Mr. Joyeux the adaptation of this model for landscape gardeners since the Milan Furniture Fair in 2019 (Salone del mobile), the first date of its public presentation.
Privileged and exciting moments, where we can share our opinions on our problems, our expectations and our wishes concerning the development of lighting for multiple uses, discreet but very graphic and design. These moments are awaited by both sides in order to share and cross-check our analyses, working methods, implementation and quality/price ratio. This approach of openness and information allows us, landscape gardeners and arboricultural experts, to better understand and master the problems as well as the development of public and private lighting equipment in the final phase of elaboration, from the Roger Pradier® range.
The approach of Roger Pradier®, and especially of Mr. Stéphane Joyeux, is to integrate this lighting from the home to the garden while taking into consideration the directives emanating from the "Trame Noire". The "iciéla" product is part of this approach to the evolution of lighting for the improvement of nocturnal biotopes and ecosystems.
It was a great step and a great satisfaction to be associated with the evolution of the Roger Pradier® company (EPV Label) through Mr. Tristan De Witte (CEO), Mr. Stéphane Joyeux (Designer DA) and Mrs. Cécile Thévenin (Representative of our sector of activity).
Grands Prix de la Création de la Ville de Paris
I had the pleasure of attending the "Grands Prix de la Création de la Ville de Paris" award ceremony following an invitation from the EPV company ROGER PRADIERthrough its CEO Mr Tristan De Witte. An exciting evening full of discoveries and interesting discussions following the ceremony.
Privileged moments to exchange with Mr De Witte and his wife as well as his collaborator Mrs de Chaumont, on the new trends, the novelties and the annexed companies attached to Mr De Witte. It is always a pleasure to have a close and simple but constructive exchange as a customer with our exclusive partner in electrical equipment both through their classic and contemporary range. Thank you very much for your attention and for listening to our feedback with our customers and our installer the company DOMOECLAIR of Mr Le Lay, who was present with us last night in this prestigious place and adapted to the prize-giving, to promote French creation as well as craftsmanship, trades of excellence and French-style industry.
Digital mapping and landscape ecology
At the end of August, I was able to take part, as part of the continuity of my professional career, in a QGIS training course, a software that allows me to move from maps to digital cartography coupled with the concept of landscape ecology, given at the Olivier de Serres site in Ardèche. During this exciting training course, which was very rich in information and work possibilities, I had the pleasure of being in contact with teachers from CHEP-L'école du savoir vert, which enabled us to exchange and discuss our professions in a different way than in the usual framework of my mandate as administrator and President of the association and the school.
Thanks to Guy Lempérière and Nicolas Robinet for the quality of their animation and the richness of their teaching.

Regeneration of a lawn by sowing a grass... Spring 2021.
A good job of scarification, then reseeding with topsoil, plus a BIO3G organic amendment "Orga B Mix®" and an organic anti-moss "Calci Tonic Perlé®", coupled with regular mowing with a spiral mower. And here is the result!
We can congratulate the owner of this lawn, which was redone in 2016, and whose regular mowing has allowed a good maintenance of the existing grass, limiting the work of regeneration. Of course, the very wet Spring and early Summer contributed greatly to the establishment and tillering, with a choice of fast germinating grasses from "sports field" type mixtures.

Dear all,
Continuing my journey in arboriculture expertise, I had a great pleasure to return to the Tree Workshop to find Mr. William Moore. and other learners already crossed
We were able to deepen the ZPR (root protection zones), in order to have a global vision of the trees. This knowledge of the plant seen through the prism of the arboricultural expert should systematically lead to the production of recommendations and intervention protocols to respect and ensure the integrity of the plants in the framework of development projects.

Collaboration with the Ferme du Bec-Hellouin - Management of the tree patrimony
I have started a collaboration on the management of the arboreal heritage of the Bec-Hellouin Farmand more specifically on the feeder forest since last fall.
After a meeting and a day of exchanges, Perrine and Charles Hervé-Gruyer proposed to me to set up a global reflection, completed by an action of soft pruning and training, to accompany and control the development of the feeder forest.
The aim: to let the light return to all the plant strata, including the aromatics in the soil. This partnership and reflection should continue throughout 2021.
I am delighted to participate actively in this work and experimental projects on the feeder forest and more generally the arboreal heritage of the Bec-Hellouin Farm.
I would like to thank Perrine and Charles Hervé-Gruyère for the trust they place in my expertise and know-how.
See you soon for more news on this wonderful challenge and sharing.

Arboricultural expertise training - Tree workshop with William Moore
In mid-October, I attended the training course "Biology and Identification of wood-eating mushrooms "of l'Atelier de l'Arbreorganized and animated by Mr William Moore Following on from the four previous training courses in January, February, March and September, "Journey to the Center of the Tree". (V.T.A),(D.T.O), (V.G.A).
This module provides an in-depth view of the relationship between fungi and cankers pathogens, and the tree; their identification and their influence on the long or short term follow-up of the tree, and the restitution of the diagnosis expected by the client.
This training opens our eyes to the intimate relationship between cankers, fungi, trees and conifers!
A complex and exciting world where all our knowledge and methodology is put to the test!
Thanks again to William Moore for passing on his knowledge and to the team present, with whom I spent an excellent week, rich on all levels.

Return of pollinators around honey plants ...
The last few weeks have seen human activity slowing down and then slowly picking up again, which has not been the case in our parks and gardens.
A multitude of pollinators move from flower to flower in peace and quiet, as well as a lot of passerines (chickadees, sparrows, robins ...) reappropriate our gardens and parks, for our great happiness!
The gardeners also knew how to be discreet when carrying out architectural pruning, by working in the garden.ant with the help of chalk lines in order to achieve perfectly executed alignments with hand shears, pruning shears and electric shears.
This unexpectedly calm, and the lack of human frequentation in places usually open to the public, allowed all these little people to live together, while remaining focused on their respective tasks.
Bees, bumblebees ... have allowed the realization of good pollination "and have given themselves over to good pollen harvests", while ladybird larvae, ladybirds, small birds among others have allowed a good regulation of the populations of aphids, caterpillars ... of this spring.
All this fragile ecosystem has been able to recover naturally, in a general way and in this framework conducive to idleness, the collection and contemplation of this biodiversity found, and orchestrated in all simplicity by an early spring more than clement.
A privileged moment, when time seems infinite, in parenthesis, and when humanity is getting back in touch with this so fragile nature...
17 days after sowing ...
The photos presented to you were taken 17 days after the sowing of this plot.
We have prepared the growing medium by incorporating a "Mineralysis" type soil activator, as well as a bacterial bio-stimulant that acts from the germination stage of the "Mico-Tonic" type of the BIO3G range.
Then, during the soil preparation, we incorporated white peat from Floragardean organic amendment on an organic carrier such as Activ-Tonic and a organic amendment of the "Orga Activ Gazon" type from BIO3G, in order to promote the bursting of the clay-humus and marl complex, from these poor quality soils analysed by the FREDON Ile de France (soil related to the construction).
All these fertilising and amending elements were positioned before and during the preparatory work for the semi. The aim was to promote and accelerate the fragmentation of the clay-marl complex, made up of a mixture of 70% clay and marl and 30% compost that cannot be degraded. Indeed, compost enclosed in the soil rots because it is deprived of its biotope and of air, which makes it impossible to degrade the organic matter necessary for the good health of plants and soil life.
An automatic watering system completes this arrangement on a flat roof with a substrate thickness often less than 60 cm. Hence, the need to associate to this vegetalisation an appropriate irrigation system managed as precisely as possible.
Mulching has been positioned in the beds to conserve and limit water requirements, while controlling the frequency of gardeners' visits and soil compaction, allowing them to concentrate on monitoring plants while limiting weeding needs.
The season of winter decorations is coming to an end.
We invite you to discover on the attached photos, the culmination and culmination of the flowering of the plants, consisting of a mixture ofEricas, from calocephalusof thoughts and daisies.
The vegetal framework has found in the soil and available, the benefits of the BIO3G range The new products: Mineralyse, Micro-Tonic and Active-Tonic, which complemented the soil improvement work carried out by the company.sion in the spring of 2019.
At the uprooting, for the renewal of the seasonal decorations, we noticed a very good rooting of the plants, inducing a good height as well as a good density and quality of flowering. In view of the climatic conditions of this winter and spring, the resistance of the plants and their good sanitary state encourage and comfort us in the working methods and recommendations that we have proposed and implemented for our customers.
Arboricultural expertise training - Tree workshop with William Moore
At the beginning of March I was able to participate in the Diagnosis Treatment Observation (D.T.O.) training of theTree Workshoporganized and animated by Mr William Moore.
This training complements the first two training sessions in January and February, "Journey to the Center of the Tree" and Visual Tree Analysis (V.T.A.), which made me get to know and take another look at the trees and conifers that surround us, as well as the means to understand them, to diagnostic and to accompany them, through the techniques, knowledge and work processes delivered and transmitted by William Moore. Thank you William for this wonderful transmission of knowledge!
To date, these first 3 trainings have allowed me to acquire my first strip of arboricultural expert recognized by William.
So I decided to take the plunge into arboricultural expertise by equipping myself with all the survey, diagnostic and field sampling equipment. But also with all the laboratory equipment and in particular a tri-nocular microscope with integrated camera, to finalize my analyses on samples and samplings, in the continuity of the teaching and expertise process delivered by William.
With this new skill, backed by my 30 years of experience, acquired in the landscape, teaching and continuing education sectors, I will be able to carry out your arboricultural diagnoses, for private individuals, condominiums and public services (municipalities, urban communities, departmental and regional parks, etc.).
So do not hesitate to contact me and ask for help. This way I will be able to bring you all my help and skills in the vast fields of arboricultural expertise.

While in Switzerland, to visit Mr. Yan Portellano, a qualified and experienced gardener from the Landscape School of the Bern region, and manager of a 2 hectare landscaped site and 5 hectares of forests around the City of Bern.
We were able to exchange on our projects, methods and techniques, materials and landscape activities, while taking into account the difference between our two regions, countries and climates.
This meeting and these exchanges over several days, allowed me to step back and take advantage of these shared landscape reflections to reopen my ideas on the world of landscape.
Mr. Portellano also introduced me to the City of Berne and the magnificent Rose Park on the other side of the Aare River. From where the City of Bern can be admired through several vegetable windows, all intoxicated by the scents of the Roses, diffusing into the atmosphere during the visit and as we stroll through the Park.
Among other things, we visited several of its suppliers throughout the Berne, Neuchâtel and Fribourg regions. Always in the spirit of discovering new products, new methods and openness to other regional and national practices, specific to another European country: Switzerland.
Many thanks to Mr. Yan Portellano, for the time he has given, as well as to his colleagues, and for all these passionate and exciting discussions and exchanges.
