An alpine garden, an ecological garden, a rose and rock garden, a maze and endless delights... Discover the eleven gardens that together make up the unique and varied Jardin des Plantes (Garden of Plants), always changing, always something new.
Many of the medicines we use today come directly or indirectly from medicinal herbs used traditionally. The Jardin de Plantes Ressources (Garden of Useful Plants) offers a great many examples, such as rosemary, which has antiseptic, anti-oxidant and purifying properties. Textile plants such as linen, ramie and sisal can also be found in this garden. While strolling around, you may also notice so-called “tinctorial” plants from which pigments are extracted to make dyes.
This is true of woad, which was once used to produce indigo in the Haut-Languedoc. The leaves were ground then shaped into balls known as coucagno in Occitan, said to have given their name to the region, the Pays de Cocagne.
This garden also reveals the diversity of field crops (wheat, barley, triticale, etc.); plants used by the perfume industry (rose, iris, jasmine, etc.), in cosmetics (St John’s wort, saponaria, purple coneflower, etc.); aromatic and condimentary plants (horseradish, saffron, lovage, etc.); vegetable crops (lentils, peanuts, quinoa, etc.); plants with traditional uses; and other plants with cleansing properties or those used to help look after other plants in the garden.
