Cult and cultures: Huguenots contributions to the cultural history of the garden and the vegetal world (Article)
Fédération des Églises Protestantes de Suisse (FEPS), Switzerland
Abstract
In various host
countries, the Huguenot Refuges contributed to the diffusion of
utilitarian plants but also to the culture of flowers and to the
development of botany. Even if a
clear distinction cannot always be made, the contribution of the second
wave of Huguenot Refuges (after 1685) should be differentiated from the
first wave of Huguenot Refuges (16th century).
The diverse elements of the cultural history of the. French Reform,
gathered here through the perspective of memorial appropriation, allows
us to consider not only the importance of the historical material but
also the need for further research, including the theological aspects of
this chapter in history.
