Jardiner, les sciences cachées du jardin - Livre de l'exposition

On the occasion of the Gardening exhibition at the Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie, this book offers an insight into the scientific and biological mechanisms at work when gardening. It takes readers on a journey through six iconic gardens: the garden that nourishes, the garden that delights, the garden that connects, the garden that heals, the garden that reveals itself, and the garden that adapts. These are all tools for discovery and knowledge that enrich our relationship with nature.

In the face of environmental, social, and health challenges, the garden takes on a deeper dimension, becoming a laboratory of life, a space for observation and learning, a field of resistance, a network of relationships, and a reflection of the best of humanity.

Whether you garden, cultivate, or develop a natural space, discover the visible and invisible processes that science allows us to understand. The garden as you've never seen it before!

Scientific panoramas: let science surprise you and discover migratory plants in vegetable gardens, the benefits of soil on mood, and the hidden colors of flowers. Scientists reveal how everyday gardening connects us to the living world.

Inspirational gardens: in France, Germany, and Greece, six gardens tell their stories and offer inspiring benchmarks and models.

Hands in the soil: adapt your garden to today's world with practical advice, plant profiles, and case studies that give you everything you need to get started.
