About the location

Arboretum de la Petite Loiterie
Le Sentier 37110 Monthodon
  • Indre-et-Loire
  • Centre-Val de Loire
This park of botanical interest presents a very wide pallet of ligneous botanical species, that is trees and shrubs. For the pleasure of the observation and the knowledge, the arboretum was conceived(designed) so as to learn you to look otherwise(differently) at a tree and to recognize it.
The approach(initiative) of plantation is completely original, because trees and shrubs having resembling sheets(leaves) are grouped(included) in the same zones. It allows to differentiate better the often confused(merged) sorts(species), and, inside the same sort(species), to compare various variants.
This pleasant landscaped garden is the ideal site to get acquainted with all the techniques of interview(maintenance) and sustainable management, and in particular size, an experimental site of which it is.
More than 1900 sorts(species) and varieties of trees and shrubs planted since 1995\. The 18,5 hectares of the arboretum include 3,5 ha of meadows and wet zones, 4 ha of wood and 2,5 ha of moor. 2 km of rural hedges(hurdles) and woody bands(strips) are a hangout for the wildlife.
