Our nurseries reflect the diversity we promote, whether by their specialities, size, economic importance, or plant production and reproduction methods. Diverse but also and above all united with one another in order to perpetuate our professions, share experience, and preserve, enrich and pass on that marvellous vegetable heritage of which we are the ever-watchful mediators.” La French Fine Fleur
