Lieux de savoir botanique, pépinières de vente de plantes pour la colonie, espaces de contact pour les sociétés coloniales, les jardins botaniques sont envisagés dans leur dimension savante globale, leur fonction politique et leurs usages économiques. Aux mises en réseau entre les institutions métropolitaines et les jardins coloniaux répond une microhistoire de sites dont les destinées varient en fonction des empires et des territoires.
