Established in 1866 on the former Frescatelly Park estate, the garden inherited greenhouses that were initially constructed for the 1861 World Fair on Metz's esplanade.

The garden welcomes visitors daily without entrance fees and provides educational tours upon reservation, with facilities including a tearoom and children's play areas.
The mature arboretum features 140-year-old sequoias, hardy bamboo stands, and a bronze eagle statue created by Christopher Fratin in 1866.
