Historic Botanical Garden at Jardin Public
The historic botanical plot sits within Bordeaux's Jardin public. Seek it out for plant beds arranged by family, rather than for the larger garden across the river.
This small retained botanical garden preserves the teaching purpose behind Bordeaux's plant collections. Its taxonomic beds make the visit about comparing plant families and how they are organized. Because the plot is within Jardin public, it pairs naturally with the larger landscape garden and its arboretum.
What to look for
Historic plant beds arranged by botanical family.
The contrast between ordered teaching beds and the wider landscape garden.
Useful to know
Go to the historic plot in Jardin public, rather than the separate botanical garden at La Bastide.
Check access to the plot itself; Jardin public's gate hours do not guarantee that it is open.
