Jardin Exotique de Roscoff, Botanical garden in Roscoff, France.

The Jardin Exotique de Roscoff is a botanical garden sitting on a rocky outcrop and housing over 3,350 plant species from Australia, New Zealand, and South America. The site spans 1.6 hectares and displays a diverse collection of subtropical and exotic plants.

In 1986 the Finistère department bought the granite outcrop Roc'h Hievec, and Louis Kerdilès and Daniel Person led a group of subtropical-plant enthusiasts in laying out the garden to a design by Alain Le Goff. It is run by the association G.R.A.P.E.S. with seven staff, and new species are added and annuals resown each year.

The garden is tended by G.R.A.P.E.S., the Roscoff group of amateur subtropical plant enthusiasts, with seven staff, and new species are added each year while annuals and biennials are resown. Its Breton name is Liorzh Ezotek Roscoff. The shelter and warmth of the rock, right by the sea, give it a mild microclimate.

The garden is open daily with shorter hours from December to February and extended hours from July to August. Visitors should know that the rocky terrain offers uneven ground, so sturdy footwear is important.

The coastal position creates a special microclimate that allows southern hemisphere plants to grow, including Echium flowers that reach up to 4 meters tall. Visitors are often surprised to find such subtropical giants in this rough corner of northern Brittany.
