Abstract: This chapter aims to test the relevance of the concept of scene by comparing it with the theme of plants in the city of Angers, allowing us to take a step aside from the approach favored in this book, which focuses on artistic and cultural activities.1 The foundations of an Angevine plant scene were laid at an early stage, as early as the 15th century. Today, they take the form of a plant production ecosystem, fostered by a singular configuration and a very dense network of players (lived scene). The impact on the local population in terms of perceived ambiance and civic involvement is growing, but remains fragile and uneven depending on the neighborhood (experienced scene). What's more, the local narrative initiated by public authorities on nature in the city to label this scene and increase its visibility or appropriation by the population (constructed scene) gives rise to disagreements, making the green city a place of potential conflict between different communities.
