Botanical Conservatory of Brest, National botanical garden in Brest, France.

The Conservatory encompasses 32 hectares of land featuring four greenhouse sections that replicate different global climatic zones, from tropical mountains to subtropical islands.

The site transformed from a quarry and waste area into a botanical garden in 1971 when the municipality acquired the land for public use.

The institution maintains a collection of 5000 specimens in its herbarium, contributing to scientific research and plant preservation initiatives across France.

Visitors can access the conservatory gardens daily without entry fees, while the tropical greenhouses open from 2 PM to 5 PM on designated dates.

The facility protects 1700 endangered plant species, including 95 percent of taxa that face extinction or have disappeared from their natural environments.
