Jean-Luc Danneyrolles has for many years collected vegetables and rare botanicals and dedicates a large part of his activity to the production of seeds and heirloom plants.
He has become a key player in the domain of vegetable gardens. Certain great masters of cuisine such as Alain Ducasse have asked him to create vegetable gardens for them.
Wishing to link gardening, art and culture, he participates in numerous events. He is the author of three books published by Editions Actes Sud, notably " The Tomato" , "Garlic and the Onion" and "Sweet and Hot Peppers ".
