This series is about an allotment garden (or in North America, a community garden) and in particularly about a land parcel which I take care of with my family and friends. The history of the allotment gardens in Europe is closely connected with the period of industrialization and urbanization during the 19th century when a large number of people migrated from the rural areas to the cities. Today, most allotment gardens are on land owned by the municipality which rent it to an association, this is the case for the Riesthal Gardens. To preserve allotment gardens as something that is available for all kinds of people, the association gives each member a plot of land for a very low coast. Bringing together citizens from different social classes and origine, the Riesthal Gardens allows social diversity around the sharing of a common desire: building a garden and growing its fruits and vegetables. The way to cultivate and grow vegetables (the relationship to this parcel of nature) varies a lot according to the methods of the plot holders. Each piece of land is a microcosm that everyone cultivates and arranges as they wish, within the limits of the authorized regulations, specific to allotment gardens forcing food cultivation, prohibiting the only decorative dimension, with an obsession with control, order, rigor. While the majority of gardens meet these standards, some are abandoned, while a minority try more alternative cultivation methods (organic, sustainable, permaculture). The photo series documents the evolution of the nature on our plot but also the way in which other members organize living things in their land parcel. Each garden shows a relationship with the living world. Many gardeners try to have a perfect control of their culture, protecting their vegetables from all diseases, seeking productivity. For our part, in the collective adventure of our land parcel, we let nature act, overflow into a moving garden, in constant re-configuration thanks to wandering plants that are so beneficial to insects. Part of the photographs is linked to summertime and children's games. Thus the series relates the time of childhood in the gardens.The pleasure of the time spent in these gardens is the best way to transmit knowledges about the growth of plants and a benevolent attention to all species that sustain life.
