In 1993, landscape gardener Joël CHATAIN and the Association des Ateliers de Techniques Anciennes had a dream: to recreate a medieval-inspired garden on the outskirts of the Ferme de l'Hôpital - a former Knights Templar commandery in Coulommiers classified as a Historic Monument - with a path inspired by the Roman de la Rose and medieval monastic gardens, the aim being to create an educational garden.
Enclosed by walls, created on the site of a former garden, the garden now features various themed areas and a collection of 250 plants and cultivated plants, known in the Middle Ages (5th-15th centuries), vegetable plants, medicinal plants, craft plants, flowers and food plants essential to biodiversity.
