The IJPB at the 16th edition of Esprit Jardin

Esprit Jardin was launched more than 15 years ago and brings together more than 20,000 people, who love plants and gardens. This major event is an opportunity to make young and older people aware of science in a context where they do not expect it. The public will discover different facets of plants, awaken their curiosity and get answers.

After the success of its first participation on the occasion of its 10th anniversary in 2021 (news), the IJPB renews since the experience in 2022 and 2023. In 2024, two new workshops are on the program!

> Can you recognize oils from the ends of the earth?
Their scents, colors, textures and origins will help guide you on this exotic journey. Vegetable oils and their fabulous chemical properties are full of resources for food, cosmetics and green chemistry!
You will enrich your knowledge playing games.

> Shapes of the leaves revealed
Discover the fascinating world of leaves, from their form to their function. Through a fun game and hands-on observations, explore their incredible diversity!

You will get to know the plants studied at the IJPB and the different ways of growing the "green mouse" of the plant research laboratories: the lady's cress, a plant of the Brassicaceae family (ex Cruciferae), a small cousin of cabbage, radish, rapeseed, pope's coin.

Meet us on the 27th and 28th of April from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm
