Jardins du Nouveau Monde, Botanical garden in Blérancourt, France
The Jardins du Nouveau Monde covers one hectare within the Château de Blérancourt estate and displays plants from North and South America in distinct sections. Each area is organized around seasonal plantings and botanical collections from the Americas.
The site was originally the château's kitchen garden before its transformation in the 20th century. American funding made possible this shift from a functional space to a botanical display.
The gardens reflect a shared design vision between two nations, combining American and French landscape traditions in their layout. This partnership is visible in how the space is organized and planted.
The gardens are free to visit and easily accessible year-round, with parking available on the grounds. Walking through at your own pace allows you to explore each section without time pressure.
One section focuses exclusively on white and blue flowering plants, including iris, jasmine, wisteria, and peonies. This color-themed collection represents a specialized approach to garden design.
