Mathilde Burlion
I'm Mathilde Burlion, a mother of five wonderful children, ranging in age from 11 to 1. My deepest aspiration is to instill in children a profound understanding of the path to a sustainable future. To achieve this, I extend a warm invitation to join me in a series of nature and gardening workshops tailored for children. Together, we are sowing the seeds of awareness and nurturing a generation that is well-equipped to shape a brighter, more sustainable future.
