THE MONTET BOTANICAL GARDENS

The Jardin Botanique du Montet, an authentic living museum of plants, graces  the outskirts of the Nancy urban area. Created in 1975, the gardens and conservatory have a dual scientific and cultural mission.  They are jointly managed by the Université Henri Poincaré, Nancy 1 and the Urban Community of Greater Nancy (Communauté Urbaine du Grand Nancy).
Extending over 27 hectares, the garden grows over 12,000 plants from every continent giving visitors an idea of the extraordinary resources of the plant world.

 

 

 

Collections

A variety of collections allow visitors to familiarise themselves not only with the plants they find in their own gardens, but also with species native to  far-distant countries.
Lose yourself in the 2,500 m2 of tropical greenhouses with their giant water-lilies, orchids, banana, coffee and citrus trees, cacti, etc.
A visit to these lovely gardens fast turns into an exploration of its wonders.

A wide choice of activities (botany courses, conferences, visits, exhibitions) is offered as part of the botanical garden’s educational mission.
