Guided visit

Plants and traditions: lucky charm and evil eye

Tuesday 20 June 2023, 12:30

Dive into the myriad traditions linked to the world of plants and learn which plants have often been given protective or, on the contrary, “evil” characteristics!

Beyond their therapeutic properties, plants have often been used to protect a household and its inhabitants. Discover their stories, which are inextricably linked to our own.

Tuesdays, during your lunch break, why not discover the full extent of our collections and research projects in the company of experts (botanist, curator, horticulturist or researcher).
Check out our full range of workshops and visits.

Part of the “Botanica 2023” event and its theme: “Plants for our future – plants protect us”. From 10 June to 9 July 2023.

La mandragore, espèce emblématique des sorcières d'hier.... et d'aujourd'hui ?
