GUIDES In the past, plants were the main source of colour in our regions. Plants of great or little complexion, their pigments were a source of blue, red or yellow and were used to dye fabrics and clothes. At the Jardin Massart, come and discover these plants, sometimes common, which have made the wealth of certain regions.
