Jardin des libellules
<p style="text-align:center">The "Jardin des Libellules" will soon be a place to share, to discover and to grow.</p>
<p style="text-align:center"> </p>
<p style="text-align:center">The Land</p>
<p style="text-align:center">On a 3 hectares "L" shaped piece of land, with a gentle and peaceful energy, surrounded to the south by the mountains and to the north by the forest, the "Jardin des Libellules" has been born. The place is divided into three different areas:</p>
<p style="text-align:center"> </p>
<p style="text-align:center">The vegetable garden</p>
<p style="text-align:center">This community garden is worked with care, trying to ally human, animal and plants energy. The soil is worked with an interesting blend of no-dig, permaculture and bio-intensive techniques, using simple hand tools in a way that respects and takes care of the soil's life and of the people who work the land. </p>

<p style="text-align:center"> </p>
<p style="text-align:center">The knowledge space</p>
<p style="text-align:center">The knowledge space will be an open place to share knowledge through different kinds of workshops, games and activities.</p>
<p style="text-align:center">A big cob oven will feed many sharing moments...</p>

<p style="text-align:center">The forest of the children</p>
<p>At the heart of a tiny forest of Paulownia or Imperial tree, magic is making it's home.</p>
<p>In some time, we will be able to awaken our inner child through meeting the mysterious people that inhabits this forest.</p>
<p>This will be a special setting to share the power of meditation and to let our minds travel in space and time through story telling and music around a campfire. </p>

<p style="text-align:center">Three different types of members</p>
<p style="text-align:center"> </p>
<p style="text-align:center">The family of the "Jardin des Libellules"</p>
<p style="text-align:center">We are a group of people with different stories, origins, ages, jobs, passions, dreams, beliefs, etc., and we celebrate this diversity which gives the richness to our association. But behind all these differences we share common values and the will to create the change we want to see.</p>
<p style="text-align:center">We wish to unite our energies, offering and enjoying shared moments of gardening, creation, learning, teaching, playing, celebrating...</p>
<p style="text-align:center"> </p>
<p style="text-align:center">The "Libellules"</p>
<p style="text-align:center">The "Libellules" are the main reason for being of the project. They are young adults wishing to give their first steps towards a more harmonious life, and willing to discover during a couple of weeks some precious tools to nourish positive change. </p>
<p style="text-align:center"> </p>
<p style="text-align:center">The friends of the "Jardin des Libellules" </p>
<p style="text-align:center">Anyone willing to take part in the different workshops or activities that we will give and/or willing to harvest vegetables in the garden. </p>
<p style="text-align:center"> </p>
<p style="text-align:center">You are welcome to discover the project in it's whole dimension here: <a href="http://www.jardindeslibellules.fr/en" target="_blank">Jardin des libellules</a></p>
<p style="text-align:center"> </p>
<p style="text-align:center">Since March, 2017, the project is coming to life, and with the precious help of family and friends, with all my energy and resources, more than 300 trees and shrubs were planted, and a big garden has grown.</p>

Allocation of funds
<p>Today comes the moment to set up the key element for the project to reveal its potential. And for this, I need your help...</p>
<p>The collected funds will be used for the construction of a multi-purpose space, with a wooden room and an open terrace covered by a green roof. This space will be mainly used to run diverse workshops, to prepare baskets of vegetables and to host an evening weekly market, to prepare meals and to host inside a wide selection of books.</p>
<p>The materials (4500 €), the carpenter's help (1000 €) and other costs (500 € for terracing for foundations and others) sum to a total of 6000 euros.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Goal 1</strong></p>
<p><strong>4000 €. </strong>This amount would fund a big part of the build. Most of the material costs would be covered! This would be of great help and encouragement...</p>
<p><strong>Goal 2</strong></p>
<p><strong>6000 €. </strong>The whole build would be funded! </p>
<p><strong>Goal 3</strong></p>
<p><strong>Beyond 6000 </strong><strong>€... </strong>If the sum of 6000 € was not only reached, but even exceeded, the additional funds would be invested in trees, books and other materials to give life to this space.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Every donation, wether a tiny grain of sand or a big stone, is of great help and encouragement.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Deep gratitude to you, and may the generous magic of life allow you to witness the power of your gift!</p>
