This is a photo of a rosemary, a plant that hides its true power in its leaves. Its spike-like leaves reveal their true smell if you press it in your hands. This secret made me choose this plant. Photo and caption by Thibaut

Lemon balm
This is a picture of melissa officinalis – lemon balm, I took it because when I saw it I thought it was mint so I ate it, but it was not very good… So I looked it up to see if I was going to die or not, and fortunately it is not dangerous for humans! It is actually quite good, it tastes like citronella. Photo and caption by Victoire

Research project
We had a first meeting with the UPEC geography students who are interested in doing research around the Jardin pontanique. They are studying the campus and more specifically the jardin from socio-geographic point of view. Thanks for thinking of us!

Lenten Rose
This plant is a Lenten Rose. It has a few distinguishable features: the flowers face downwards while most other flowers face the sun. It is also poisonous (it probably won’t kill humans because a lot of it would have to be consumed but can kill small animals like dogs or cats).

Sage
Here’s a plant that grows between a rosemary bush and the orange thyme. I is not very high ( about 20 or 30 cm) nor does it have a particular smell. But I chose it for its leaves, their colour and their texture. The leaves are not just green, but also have some grey and blue, and are very pale. If you take them in your hands they are soft as velvet.
