Ribemont-sur-Ancre Plant Swap

Ribemont-sur-Ancre Plant Swap: gardening in good company

Ribemont-sur-Ancre, a small village in the Ancre valley northeast of Amiens, hosts every spring a plant swap of about thirty exhibitors. The event reflects a real trend: returning to more local, ecological and shared gardening.

A rendezvous for passionate gardeners

Plant swaps have their faithful audience: amateur gardeners enriching their plots, botany enthusiasts seeking rare varieties, beginners wanting advice, individuals sharing cuttings and seedlings.

What to find

Heritage tomatoes, local bean and squash varieties, forgotten herbs, old-garden flowers, perennials, shrubs to root. Exhibitors also bring small tools and used gardening books.

Ribemont-sur-Ancre: millennial heritage

Its territory hosts remains of an important Gallo-Roman sanctuary, one of the largest in northern Gaul, combining temple, theatre and baths. A high place of Picard romanity.

Sports hall: practical setting

Covered space sheltered from capricious spring weather. Bring crates, cash, and time to chat.
