Les Rendez-vous aux Jardins is an annual opportunity to discover exceptional parks and gardens across France and Europe. Parc de Groussay, a veritable oasis of greenery in Rambouillet, has been designed to promote biodiversity. As they stroll through the park, visitors can explore various ecological themes: flower meadows to encourage bird nesting, a phytodepuration zone, an educational arboretum with tree identification cards, and paths designed to be shared by pedestrians and cyclists.
This diversified structure not only allows you to enjoy the almost untamed nature, but also to learn about the various facets of practical ecology. The park also plays a crucial role in stormwater management. The development of Groussay Park is part of a sustainable development approach. From the selection of surfacing materials, free from treated wood and plastic, to the conservation of dead trees for wood-eating insects, every aspect of the park has been designed with an environmental conscience. The installation of nesting boxes and the planting of various types of vegetation are further examples of the efforts made to enrich and preserve local biodiversity.
Groussay Park is an impressive green space, home to 730 trees, including 80 fruit trees, 10,600 shrubs and over 30,000 perennials. It also boasts 50 wooden bird nests and 100 fact sheets detailing the tree species present.
In short, it's the perfect place to teach children about biodiversity and nature in an urban environment, thanks to the many play areas that are also reserved for them.
