Le fabuleux voyage des plantes : des jardins des nouveaux mondes aux potagers-vergers d’Europe by Denis SAILLARD – Lunéville (France)
The fabulous journey of plants
The fabulous journey of plants: from the gardens of the new world to Europe’s orchards and vegetable gardens.
The human use of edible plants in the Americas, Asia and Africa is a several centuries-long story. These plants are the subject of much curiosity. Some were quick to complement the diet, at the time deficient across Europe, whereas others were for a long time rejected. They were gradually integrated within European gardens, sometimes thanks to greenhouse growing.
Organised in partnership with the IHSCE (European cultural history institute).
