The Olive Gardens
|
Our nursery is nestled in the heart of Provence, near Aix-en-Provence and Marseille. We specialise in the cultivation of olive seedlings and in the sale of hundred-year-old olive trees.. We produce a great variety of trees by cutting, seedling and graft methods (Nyons, verdales, picholines, manzanillo …). These varieties of trees produce olives that can be used for making olive oil, table olives and spiced green olives ( a.k.a ´Olives cassees') prepared in the Mediterranean and Provence styles. Olive oil is excellent for your health and helps reduce your cholesterol†; it has been used for thousands of years in Mediterranean cooking as well as for making soaps, body oils, lamps… If you choose to visit one of the various olive mills in the region you will see all the resources an olive grove has to offer and you will be able to taste different olives and oils. We are more oriented towards landscaping than pure olive growing. We also produce dwarf, bonzai-like olive trees: they are perfect for a gift. You can of course make in-store purchases but you can also place your orders on the internet. We also offer botanical advice to help you transplant your trees and use adequate treatment against parasites, the olive fly and sooty mould… Each olive tree is unique.. Enjoy our website and we hope to see you soon in our nursery. |
