Implanted on the Gallo-Roman site of Cassinomagus, the Garden of Pliny the Elder integrates with a several hectare archeological ensemble. Inspired by the Natural history of Pliny the Elder, it has a protective vocation of plants typical of the Gallo-Roman antiquity(antique). It presents more than 100 plants, organised according to their uses(practices). A game(set,play) of scent allows odorous sorts(species) of reconnaitre. The Small Kitchen garden comes supplement the promotion(valuation) of known sorts(species) in Ier century. A not visible(obvious) part(party) of vestiges is restored by a plant symbolism.
