Saint-Léger-de-Linières. Plants also have sensitivity

As part of the theme The four seasons, selected by the ABCD municipal library, Philippe Morel-Chevillet, from the National Institute of Agronomic Research (INRA), will present an astonishing subject: The sensitivity of plants. The conference will take place on December 6 at the Saint-Léger-des-Bois library.

Summer has bowed out, giving way to autumn, the season when nature is full of shimmering colors. The ABCD of Saint-Léger-des-Bois having chosen the theme of the four seasons, several activities will liven up the year, the first having already taken place with the discovery of the allotment gardens on September 28. The conference on December 6, hosted by Philippe Morel-Chevillet – now retired but passionately pursuing agronomic studies – will address the intimacy of plants, a theme which will perhaps awaken the perception felt when we pay attention to the surrounding plant element.

Discover the hidden mysteries of the plant

Sensitive to temperature, light, vibrations, the colors in which it evolves, the plant has not revealed all its mysteries and will give the opportunity to the agronomic engineer this Friday, December 6 to develop what the can be described as exciting.

Anita Legrais and Marie-Hélène Morel-Chevillet, the two co-presidents of the ABCD, will be keen during this conference to link the novel with the mysterious world of plants that certain authors have been able to describe with depth and delicacy. “Where the crayfish sing!” » by Della Owen is also available on the ABCD shelves.

A work in which the reader is taken into the marshes of North Carolina to encounter the fauna and flora that the author describes with accuracy and a keen sense of perception perhaps because my mother encouraged me when I was little to go into these woods and always further.”

The theme of plant sensitivity will be developed by Philippe Morel-Chevillet on Friday December 6 at the Saint-Léger-des-Bois library from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. Free entry. All public, including residents of municipalities in the Latulu network.
