Bulle · since 2016

Brotherhood of the Friends of Diane’s Tree

We watch over the sequoia of Bulle. Faithfully, in every season and at any hour.

Our mission


I

Preserve

We provide the Tree with regular care, as close to its roots as possible. It never goes without.

II

Pass on

We keep alive traditions that were born spontaneously one autumn evening, and that nobody saw coming.

III

Gather

We bring together everyone who, at some point in the evening, feels the need to get closer to nature.

A sequoia in the heart of town

Planted in the early 19th century by Alexander van Diana, the sequoia of Bulle has seen four generations of gardeners. For a few years now, it has been receiving even more regular attention.

Its history

“Nobody comes to the Tree by chance. You come because you feel the need.”
