Botanical garden of Metz, Botanical garden in Montigny-lès-Metz, France.
The Botanical Garden of Metz is a 4.4-hectare site with ponds, winding paths, and multiple greenhouses spread across the grounds. The buildings house about 4,500 plants from 80 botanical families arranged across approximately 1,000 square meters of growing space.
The site was created in 1866 on the former Frescatelly Park estate and received greenhouses originally built for an 1861 World Fair held in Metz. These structures continue to shape the garden's appearance and function today.
The garden displays diverse rose varieties and fragrant plant collections that visitors encounter along the paths. The layout encourages people to pause and discover the scents and colors that define each section.
The garden is open daily to visitors at no cost, making it accessible to everyone who wants to visit. A tearoom and children's play areas are available on site, and guided tours can be arranged in advance.
The grounds feature sequoia trees that have been growing there for about 140 years and reached impressive heights. There is also a bronze eagle sculpture by Christopher Fratin from 1866 that visitors encounter while exploring.
