National Botanical Conservatory of Bailleul

The National Botanical Conservatory of Bailleul is a garden in northern France that recreates different habitats such as wetlands and peat bogs. The grounds display over 1,000 labeled plant species organized into themed sections throughout the space.

The conservatory was established as one of 12 nationally recognized botanical gardens in France and plays a role in plant preservation. It houses a specialized library holding a substantial collection of botanical works.

The garden holds the 'Remarkable Gardens' label and serves as a learning space for visitors interested in plants. People come here to discover species and understand botanical diversity in a hands-on way.

The site opens Monday through Friday and offers guided tours for groups along with educational workshops. A botanical laboratory with microscopes is available for closer examination of plant specimens.

The garden maintains plant species that no longer exist in the wild, making them scientifically valuable to researchers. This preservation work supports biodiversity conservation and provides resources for ongoing scientific study.
