Guided visit

Delicious cactus

Wednesday 12 March, 14:00

Would you dare to bite into a cactus? Dive into the fascinating world of these so-called “succulent” plants during a visit that combines curiosity, flavor, and expertise in our Pregny greenhouses

Cacti: irresistible to look at, they are part of the family of "succulent" plants. But are they just as good to eat?

Join us in our Pregny greenhouses for a tour that’s as tasty as it is informative! Get ready for a sensory experience: on the menu are cactus discoveries, fruit and cladode tastings (depending on their maturity), and insights into their hardiness, propagation, seeding, and cutting techniques.

A rare and captivating experience that will spark your curiosity and tantalize your taste buds!
