Sea buckthorn is much more than just a shrub: it’s a fascinating plant that plays a vital role in preserving biodiversity!
Sea buckthorn, also known as Hippophae, is a plant species that thrives in temperate to cold regions and mountainous areas. Its silvery-green leaves and bright orange berries are a feast for the eyes. However, sea buckthorn is also a vital treasure for the ecosystems it inhabits.
Sea buckthorn is known for its ability to stabilize soil. Its extensive root system helps prevent erosion. Its deep roots also promote the growth of microorganisms that enhance soil fertility.

Sea buckthorn shrubs are dense and thus provide habitat for local wildlife. They can withstand temperatures as low as -30°C. The nutrient-rich sea buckthorn berries ripen in the fall. They then serve as one of the few sources of energy for local insects and birds.
La Maison de l’Argousier owns its own sea buckthorn orchard, which is cultivated using organic farming methods. It participates in scientific research on this gem of nature.
Sea buckthorn is much more than just a plant. It is a treasure of nature, both for the ecosystem and for humankind. By protecting this small shrub—which is so little known in our parts of the world—we are preserving our planet’s biodiversity and investing in our own well-being and health.
