Jardin des plantes d'Amiens

Jardin des plantes d'Amiens, Botanical garden in Amiens, France.

The Jardin des Plantes is a botanical garden in Amiens with organized flowerbeds containing over 1,800 different plant species. The layout includes collections of food plants, medicinal herbs, and species for various practical applications.

By a decree of the Conseil d'État of 13 May 1751, Louis XV granted the Jardin du Roy to the city of Amiens, with an income of 2,000 livres, on condition that it become a botanical garden. Dom Robbe, prior of the Feuillants convent, turned it into a true plant garden, and from 1754 the Academy of Sciences, Letters and Arts of Amiens oversaw public botany courses there. During the Revolution the Amiens medical corps and the curator Legrand saved it from disappearance.

The garden displays collections of food plants, medicinal herbs, and species used to decorate Amiens streets, a practice sustained for generations. Visitors can observe which plants serve practical purposes and how this place contributes to the city's appearance.

The garden is open from morning to evening during spring and summer, making it suitable for leisurely visits at any time of day. Visiting hours change during colder months, so checking in advance helps plan a winter visit.

The garden's regular layout of beds, unchanged since the 18th century, is marked out by low box hedges. A five-armed Cornelian cherry planted in 1761 died in 2009, but its trunk is kept so visitors can still judge its size. The garden holds 1,800 taxa and is managed with the Linnean Society of Nord-Picardy and the University of Picardy Jules Verne.
