The wild origins of our vegetables: A journey into our herbarium and vegetable garden

Cabbage, onion, leek, or celery: where do they come from? Which part of the plant do we eat: bud, root, flower, or tuber?

Un chou-rave : une variété de chou parmi de nombreuses autres, toutes issues de la domestication du chou sauvage Brassica oleracea L.

Explore their wild ancestors in our herbarium, then marvel at them in our garden of rare vegetables, created in collaboration with the ProSpeciaRara Foundation!

A unique experience to uncover the secrets of their evolution, learn about their selection... and taste these botanical wonders.
