It is a small walk, just one or two kilometres, not more. once you learned about the plant, it is time to discover its legends, traditions, beliefs and different usages from ancient time through the present and future time. You will also discover how artists identified important features about the plants that will be scientifically confirmed later on. you will learn how people used to heal themselves with plants, how we use plants now and how they may use them in the future: a way to understand that plants and humans have always been linked. You will find answers to questions like why aromatic plants have these strong smells and how useful it is for them before it is for humans, the rule of the flowers ‘colours, why some plants have hairs and others none, how plants adapt to the climate change, how plants and trees are able to work together in order to be more efficient, how imaginative can the plants be to survive and reproduce, why the truffles make a witches circle when they grow….
