Celebrating trees and nature
L'Arbre en Fête is a unique event in Corrèze, entirely dedicated to trees, agroecology, and respect for nature. Organized every year at the end of November or beginning of December at Le Battement d'Ailes in Cornil, this two-day festival brings together nursery owners, producers, artisans, foresters, and nature enthusiasts around trees in all their forms.
A committed tree fair
At the heart of the event, the tree fair brings together nursery owners who practice environmentally friendly agriculture. Fruit trees, ornamental trees, hedgerow plants, forest seedlings: you will find a great diversity of species adapted to the Limousin climate.
The nursery owners present all share the same philosophy: producing quality plants while respecting sustainable agricultural methods, without pesticides or chemical fertilizers. It's the ideal opportunity to prepare your winter plantings and benefit from expert advice.
