Using archival documents, Élisabeth de Feydeau recreates a fanciful herbarium, highlighting species that were newly discovered in Marie-Antoinette's time, detailing the cosmetic or medicinal uses of many of the garden's plants, and recounting vivid anecdotes from the royal court. The queen's gardens are captured in eighty-three eighteenth-century botanical illustrations, including watercolors by Marie-Antoinette's official court artist, the renowned botanist and painter Pierre Joseph Redouté.
