Verdun Garden, Public garden in Vendôme, France
The Jardin de Verdun is a public garden in Vendôme, laid out along the banks of the Loir river. It features tree-lined paths, open lawns, old trees, and seasonal flower displays arranged using the mosaiculture technique.
The garden is rooted in a long tradition of garden care in Vendôme that goes back to the 17th century. Over time, trees were planted that are now among the oldest on the site, including a plane tree dating from the mid-1700s.
The Jardin de Verdun sits along the banks of the Loir and is a regular meeting spot for locals throughout the week. In spring and summer, the garden hosts workshops and small outdoor exhibitions open to everyone.
The garden is open year-round and easy to reach on foot from the center of Vendôme, with parking and bicycle racks nearby. A small shop on site sells plants and souvenirs, and a bar area offers snacks and drinks.
A Lebanon cedar growing on the grounds has been there for over two centuries, making it one of the oldest trees in the town. Lebanon cedars were brought to Europe in the 1700s as botanical rarities and are rarely found in town gardens today.
