Jardin Conservatoire de Plantes Tinctoriales

TIME : 2016/2/18 18:08:02

In the days before synthetic dyes, natural colours obtained from plants, fruit and seeds were the main way of creating tints for clothing, textiles and tapestries. This garden in the village of Lauris contains a collection of such plants, and hosts regular workshops demonstrating how they were used. Guided visits (€8) run on Tuesday and Saturday at 5pm.
