Established between Loire and Cher, the botanical garden is a must-see walking place. On the south side, an arboretum contains hundreds of species that make it a reference garden. Close to the playgrounds, the medicinal plants garden hosts many species classified by property. The diverse wildlife areas attract young and old. A mini farm is also accessible to the public. On the north side, a large alley separates two entities: the garden of evolution retracing the history of plants and the thematic garden presenting different natural environments. In the collection greenhouses, the exotic world is filled with utilitarian plants from South Africa and tropical undergrowth. Finally, the new contemporary garden offers a space for meditation under its giant herbs.
