Abstract: With this contribution, we wish to highlight the development of collective work that underlies the implementation of the ecological transition. To do so, we rely on the results of an intervention that took place in the gardens and green spaces department of a local authority and on a doctoral research in progress. In a context of ecological transition, this department is undergoing significant changes in the missions entrusted to gardeners. The implementation of these evolutions on the territory is accompanied by different and sometimes contradictory appropriations according to the actors (gardening agents, team leaders, users, local elected officials). In this context, users and elected officials express requests that the agents must manage. To do this, we show here the collaborative work that was instituted between the secretaries of the management, the team leaders of the gardeners and the gardeners in order, on the one hand, to harmonize the logics of the actors and, on the other hand, to adapt to the requests that are sometimes contradictory with the rules that have been set collectively.
