Currently halfway in ruins, the Jardin d'Agronomie Tropical of Paris has a complicated history.

It was used to celebrate colonization, under the angle of agronomy. Even today, this history is put under the carpet, and few are the reflections or critics of this period, on site. The decay of the area is proof of that.

It was also an important center for the study of plants, nature and is a testimony of the evolution of architecture across time, as seen in this picture.

If it's alive today, it's mainly thanks to the mobilization of the children of the migrants that lived through that time.

Walking through it today, you can be left clueless about it's history. Some panels talk about the name, past usage and architecture, but they is no mention about the political use that was made of it.

For example, the greenhouse was used to study the tobacco plants, chocolate trees and more, but it should of mentioned how, and at which cost, theses plans where brought back to Paris.

They are also places where the history of the different colonies is totally eclipsed. Starting in 1889, it was built at a time where the French Empire was looking for justifications. And doing so, it overlooked the role local people had in maintaining, growing and influencing the nature around them, that the French saw as savages.

Some of these people where even exposed as beasts in a zoo.
