Website
Founded twelve years ago, we are a family business established in the south of France in the small commune of Opio. Driven by a need to create something special, we set out to build a nursery with an emphasis on finding and caring for beautiful plants and to make them available to our clients, a philosophy that is sadly becoming somewhat a rarity in the retail sector. Now, twelve years on, we are still constantly evolving and improving, while still retaining those ideals that we started with years before. Both the garden centre and its sister landscape and construction company, "EGC Design and Créations" are owned and run by us, James and William Hartley. We are also proud of the qualified, enthusiastic and friendly team of staff who help us in both the companies.

Julia Child: My Life in France
If, like me until recently, you had never knowingly heard of Julia Child, it will help to understand that she was, so to speak, America’s answer to Elizabeth David. It was she who, after the second world war, introduced the dishes and techniques of French cooking to, principally, her countrywomen. I had been aware of, but never read, her encyclopaedic work Mastering the Art of French Cooking, but could not have told you who had written it (or even that it was an American book). In fact, Julia Child later parted company from Elizabeth David: while David went on to explore the cuisines of Italy and other Mediterranean countries, Child stuck to that of France but developed her teaching skills into pioneering television cookery programmes decades before they came to clog up our TV channels on a daily basis.
