Jardin d'horticulture de Chartres, Educational garden in Chartres, France
The Jardin d'Horticulture spans across a verdant area featuring ninety different plant species from Eurasia, Asia, America, and the Mediterranean regions.
Founded by the Horticultural Society of Eure et Loir in the 19th century, the garden underwent substantial restoration after suffering damage during World War II.
Each plant displays an identification board, transforming the garden into an open botanical classroom where visitors learn about diverse flora species.
The garden operates from 7:30 AM to 9 PM during summer months and closes earlier at 5:30 PM in winter, with extended weekend hours starting at 8 AM.
The garden maintains a collection of rare specimens including the Ginkgo Biloba L and serves as a habitat for Mandarin ducks and widgeons.
