Petit Bard Pergola Neighborhood Community Garden

Welcome to the blog of the La Main Verte association!

We grow vegetables, fruit, and friendships in Montpellier’s Petit Bard and La Pergola neighborhoods.

The La Main Verte association aims to bring neighborhood residents together through community engagement and strengthen social bonds among them through the cultivation of shared gardens.

The Montpellier Main Verte program offers activities to learn how to garden or gain a better understanding of the city’s green spaces, natural areas, and local biodiversity.
