It was also at La Vallée that the concept of the jardin en movement was born and developed as a general approach. It assumes that the garden and the gardener are totally interdependent, with the gardener keeping an attentive eye on the wandering of the plants and animals and insects that enter into the garden. He follows the “movement” of “traveling” plants like Digitalis, the Mulleins, Spurges and Hogweed, instead of confining them to “beds” which are traditionally employed to highlight flowering. This approach relativises the notions of plants and weeds, allowing everything present in the garden to play an equal role on producing a dense and richly overlapping whole on which each development is treated as an evolutionary “event.”
