Jardins des Martels, Botanical garden in Giroussens, France
The Jardins des Martels is a botanical garden in Giroussens that spreads across several hectares with thousands of plant varieties from different continents. Water features and pathways guide visitors through the various planted sections.
The garden was established in the late 1960s by Marie-Thérèse and André Reynier on their farm and opened to the public in 1994. This transition from private property to public attraction shaped its development.
The garden blends English landscape design with Asian elements across its themed sections. Visitors walk through collections organized by flower colors like pink and blue, alongside Mediterranean plant zones that reflect these mixed design influences.
The garden is best explored on foot with pathways connecting its various sections. Plan time to stroll through different plant collections and pause at water features throughout the grounds.
The garden holds France's largest collection of Ceanothus plants with more than 50 different species. This remarkable concentration of a single plant genus makes it special for plant enthusiasts.
