Guernesey, Une Île, Un Jardin Communiqué de presse mars 2017 Mots clefs : Guenrsey, jardins, Herm Sercq, Aurigny Guernesey, une île, un jardin Le mois de mars est là et il sent bon le printemps. Alors avis aux amoureux de fleurs, plantes et de jardins presque secrets l’île de Guernesey est faite pour eux. Située à seulement 2 heures de bateau au départ de Saint-Malo, et 1h10 au départ de Diellette en Normandie, l’île est hors du temps et pourtant si proche. Victor Hugo et Pierre Auguste Renoir ne s’y’ sont pas trompés, en invitant leur contemporains à découvrir Guernesey et ses îles. En 1870 Victor Hugo écrivait « L’île est ravissante en ce moment. C’est comme une grosse fleur (…) Arrivez vite, le temps est superbe ». V. Hugo, Lettre à Charles et Alice Hugo, 22 mai 1870). Il faut dire qu’avec ses 440 variétés de fleurs et de plantes, l’île a de quoi séduire les amateurs de jardins. Les jardins de Guernesey Guernesey et son archipel composé des îles de Sercq, Herm, et Aurigny c’est tout un monde haut en couleur qui se décline délicatement entre plantes tropicales, lys et clématites qui illuminent les nombreux jardins. Les jardins historiques de Castle Cornet Le château Cornet, forteresse de l’île, comporte quatre jardins : Le Sutler’s Garden (XVIe) regroupe des plantes médicinales ainsi que des herbes aromatiques. Le lys de Guernesey, la camomille et la lavande sont disposés dans un style Tudor dans le Lambert’s Garden (XVIIe). Le Governor’s Garden (XVIIIe) présente une haie d’ifs bordée de buis remplis de lavande. La camomille, la sauge pourpre, le soucis français se partagent harmonieusement le reste du jardin. Le Master Gunner’s Garden (XVIIIe - XIXe) était à l’origine un jardin potager. Aujourd’hui, des variétés de fruits doux comme les groseilles ou les prunes de Damas y poussent. Sausmarez Manor : Le jardin boisé subtropical de Sausmarez Manor, à St Martins, combine botanique et art. Plantes et arbustes du monde y sont exposés : fougères arborescentes, bananiers, balisiers, bambous, palmiers, camélias, fuchsias et échiums géants (plantes originaires des îles Canaries pouvant atteindre plus de trois mètres de haut). Parmi cette végétation luxuriante, le propriétaire, Peter de Sausmarez, issu d’une grande famille de marin Guernesiaise, apporte sa touche artistique et expose ainsi des sculptures venues du monde entier. Le manoir et ses environs accueillent régulièrement des manifestations telles que le marché des agriculteurs ou la parade de véhicules d’époque. Saumarez Park : il est le plus grand jardin public de Guernesey. Situé dans la paroisse de Castel et à ne pas confondre avec Sausmarez Manor, le parc de Saumarez accueille chaque année de nombreuses manifestations comme le North Show and Battle of Flowers (26 et 27 août 2015). Il abrite un jardin de roses, un jardin japonais et de nombreuses espèces d’Asie comme les camélias et les bambous, plantées par un diplomate de Guernesey qui fut ambassadeur britannique au Japon. Le jardin clos victorien, récemment restauré, compte principalement des aromates du XVIIIe et une petite collection d’arbres fruitiers et de vignes sous serre. Dans l’enceinte du parc, le Folk and Costume Museum décrit la vie des Guernesiais à l’époque. Le jardin de Hauteville House : Victor Hugo, forcé de s’exiler, s’installe à Hauteville House, à St Peter Port. Le jardin de la maison, refait à l’identique grâce aux notes de l’écrivain, est dans l’esprit des jardins romantiques du XIXe siècle. On peut y découvrir son banc fétiche où sont inscrits des vers extraits des Contemplations ainsi qu’un chêne des Etats Unis d’Europe, planté le 14 juillet 1870 et symbole de son esprit visionnaire. Candie Gardens : Le jardin victorien de Candie Gardens constitue un lieu incontournable de l’île. Il est réparti sur deux étages. Les jardins du bas rappellent fidèlement les parcs publics de la fin du XIXe siècle. Ils renferment de beaux spécimens d’arbres comme le ginkgo biloba et le phœnix canarensis, des jardins d’eau et une collection de bulbes d’Afrique du Sud. Les plus vieilles serres chauffées connues des îles britanniques, dont la structure remonte à 1792, s’y trouvent. Elles exposent des plantes de toutes sortes, utilisées dans l’aménagement des jardins. Les jardins du haut sont bordés d’arbres centenaires et de pare-terres colorés. En plus d’abriter le Guernsey Museum and Art Gallery, Candie Gardens expose la célèbre statue de Victor Hugo sculptée dans le granit par le breton Jean Boucher en 1914. La préface des Travailleurs de la Mer y figure, une belle dédicace au peuple de Guernesey. Lys et clématite, symboles de Guernesey Jouissant d’un climat privilégié tempéré par le Gulf Stream, l’île de Guernesey abrite un véritable paradis floral où abonde une multitude de plantes tropicales telles qu’aloès, géraniums de Madère ou orangers. Peu surprenant alors que le Lys soit devenu l’emblème de l’île et que la clématite en fit sa renommée. Passionnés par l’art du jardinage, les Guernesiais exportent chaque année plus de cinq millions de jeunes plants de clématites dans 19 pays. Le Lys de Guernesey, est aussi appelé « nerine sarniensis » en référence à Nerine, fille du Dieu de la Mer Nereis. Une trentaine d’espèces de nérines est connue et certaines sont cultivées. A l’état naturel, le Lys de Guernesey présente toute une gamme de couleurs, de l’écarlate au rouge cramoisi en passant par le blanc. Le Lys de Guernesey fut la première nérine à être cultivée en Europe dès 1630. 200 ans plus tard, Guernesey forge sa réputation dans le milieu horticole. Quelques centaines de serres produisent des nérines au mois d’octobre. Aujourd’hui entièrement adopté, le Lys de Guernesey est devenu la fleur nationale et l’emblème de l’Archipel. Appartenant à la famille des plantes grimpantes, la clématite s’associe à des rosiers grimpants, à des arbustes nains ou à des conifères à croissance étalée. Sur les 700 espèces répertoriées dans le monde, 1 clématite sur 4 est produite à Guernesey. En 1984 Raymond J.Evison fonde The Guernsey Clematis Nursery, Société Internationale des Clématites. Les 400 espèces et cultivars issus de son inventivité poussent dans sa pépinière de Guernesey. Des évènements côté jardins Le West Show, les 16 et 17 août : Célébration de plus de 100 ans de traditions agricoles et horticoles de la côte ouest de Guernesey. C’est l’occasion de découvrir les costumes locaux de l’époque, des manèges et de se replonger 100 ans en arrière au son de la musique. The North Show & Bataille de Fleurs les 23 et 24 août : Une belle idée de sortie en famille, on y découvre les traditions agricoles, horticoles et artisanales. A ne pas manquer, la traditionnelle «bataille de fleurs » qui est en fait un défilé de chars fleuris, où le plus beau sera récompensé.

  • Open Letter to the Deputies of the States of Guernsey 6
    Open letter to the Deputies of the States of Guernsey 6 July 2018 Dear Guernsey Deputies Review of Air Transport Licensing (P.2018/62) The proposed Review of Air Transport Licensing (P.2018/62, “the Review”) put forward for consideration in the States of Deliberation at its July 2018 meeting by the Committee for Economic Development (“the Committee”) represents a significant shift in the Guernsey air transport environment. Blue Islands has highlighted to the Committee, both in writing and in person, that there are huge risks associated with such an approach. Deputy Dudley-Owen is quoted in the Guernsey Press (22 June) as stating “it is hoped this approach will facilitate new route development”. It is of deep concern to Blue Islands that a fundamental change in policy on a subject of such great importance as connectivity should be based on hope alone. Blue Islands is grateful for the opportunity to discuss our concerns with the Committee, though this engagement has only confirmed that there has been no meaningful, quantifiable analysis of the proposed move and no scenario planning and “hope” appears to be the only basis. Having now exhausted all avenues available to us to prevent what would be, in Blue Islands’ view, a potentially disastrous change in policy, we now write to all deputies in the hope that our perspective may assist the States of Deliberation in their appraisal of the Review. The main aims of scheduled air services In addition to affording Aurigny enhanced protection on the London Gatwick route, the existing Air Transport Licencing Law 1995 Policy Statement (“Policy Statement”) of 2013 outlines 7 main aims in respect of Scheduled Air Services.

  • CICRA Media Release 10 January 2014 CICRA Agrees to Aurigny And
    CICRA media release 10 January 2014 CICRA agrees to Aurigny and Blue Islands codeshare between the islands CICRA (the Channel Islands Competition and Regulatory Authorities) has agreed to allow Aurigny and Blue Islands to codeshare on the Guernsey-Jersey route after the airlines applied for an exemption under the islands’ competition laws. Having taken into account responses to CICRA’s consultation on the issue, the competition authority has granted the exemption providing certain conditions are observed by the airlines. Under the codeshare agreement, which will run initially for two years, Aurigny will take a fixed block of seats on flights operated by Blue Islands between Guernsey and Jersey using the 46-seat ATR42 aircraft, with ground support at the airports in both islands for those flights provided by Aurigny. Aurigny will pay Blue Islands a fixed charge for the seats. CICRA chief executive, Andrew Riseley, said that the authority had ultimately concluded that the interests of customers would be best-served by allowing the airlines to codeshare. “In the absence of the codeshare agreement both airlines contended that competition on the Jersey-Guernsey would shortly disappear. On balance our judgement is that the best means of protecting customers is to ensure that competition on the route remains as vigorous as possible and the conditions we have set for agreeing this exemption should achieve this.” As well as stipulating that any changes to Aurigny’s obligation to take a fixed block of seats for each flight must be approved separately

  • Air Passenger Rights the GDA and Access4all Have Been Involved in a Number of Initiatives to Do with Making Travel More Accessible for People with Disabilities
    Air Passenger Rights The GDA and Access4All have been involved in a number of initiatives to do with making travel more accessible for people with disabilities. This blog explains the situation concerning air travel. The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (the UN Convention), and the legislation it has spawned, have transformed travel by air (and by sea) in many parts of the world, and made travel more accessible. Guernsey’s government has agreed to adopt the Convention. Legislation, including European Regulations, govern how assistance must be given to people with restricted mobility (passengers with disabilities) and how people must be cared for, and compensated, should their travel be delayed or cancelled. Of course, Guernsey isn’t in the EU, but it has still benefited, to some extent, from these Regulations. Some flights (depending on the airline and where a flight originates) to and from Guernsey are covered by EU Regulations. With regard to travel by sea, Condor Ferries now applies the provisions and principles of the EU Regulations to all its sailings. In the EU, airport authorities are legally responsible for assisting passengers while they are on airport premises. Practically, this may be done by the airport appointing a third-party to manage passenger assistance, with the costs then recovered from the airlines. Guernsey’s Airport Authority is not required to comply with EU Regulations and any arrangements made to assist people with disabilities at Guernsey Airport are largely split, with the Airport Authority offering assistance from arrival to the check in desk and the Airlines then taking on responsibility for the passenger from the check-in desk to boarding.
