Goals of the intervention
"Jardins en Pays de Liège": aims at bringing together gardens of different sizes and styles: structured gardens or wandering mood, city or countryside, old parks and gardens growing, collectors' gardens ... The owners are people of passion, they are always ready to share with their visitors at the same time as their favorites and their green secrets (Ref. 1).

Implementation activities
Each year a series of private gardens are opened to the public for visitation on specific days for a small fee (Ref. 1). As of 2000, a core of competent friends reinforces the NGO in order to provide the necessary means to ensure its durability. A new building is built, simple, spacious, bright, in compliance with the standards in force. Financed largely by donations, it is inaugurated in September 2004. The NGO split into two: one, Children of one Father - Enfants d'un même Père (EMP), in charge of managing the heritage and collecting gifts, and the other, Home for the Children of the same Father - Accueil Enfants d'un même Père (AEMP), centered on the functioning of the reception and the follow-up of files.
