description The Fontanières gardens are family gardens created along the banks of the Saône, close to the centre of the city of Lyons, in the 1940s. They comprise forty allotments of vegetable gardens, each of about 200 square metres, originally created by a private individual on a one-hectare property. The gardens were left in a state of abandonment for more than ten years during the 1990s, but they were acquired in 2006 by a landscape gardener, with the project of restoring them to use in full respect of the place’s landscape qualities and its biodiversity. These gardens are located on a wooded hill called the ‘balme des Fontanières’, dominating the Saône and offering a green backdrop to the new Confluent neighbourhood in Lyons. After three years of active restoration, the Fontanières gardens have been brought back to life. Some ninety gardeners have access to the allotments and participate in their upkeep according to a guide of shared practices. The sloping parcel of land is marked by several collective spaces offering an exceptional place for alternative gardening in the city centre.
