Created in 1998 by Louis Albert de Broglie, this collection, unique in the world, brings together 785 varieties of tomato, offering an unprecedented panorama of this fruit with its unsuspected riches.

The idea was born during trips to India and Asia, where the first seeds were brought back. Collectors and botanical gardens from all over the world have subsequently enriched the conservatory. Round, elongated or heart-shaped, black, green or yellow, these heirloom tomatoes have astonishing names: Ten Fingers from Naples, Red from Iraq, Erika from Australia, Cornue from the Andes…

By highlighting the natural wealth of our planet, Louis Albert de Broglie’s aim is to enable a very wide audience to see, understand and learn about the challenges of preserving this biodiversity, in order to pass on to future generations the essential foundations for the survival of species.

Seeds from the tomato conservatory are on sale in the store. A postal delivery, at your own expense, is possible with a minimum purchase of 10 seed packets (each packet containing around 20 seeds is sold for 5 euros).
