Jardin botanique Yves Rocher de La Gacilly

The garden contains more than 1,000 plant species organized by their uses, including medicinal herbs, cosmetic plants, and desert vegetation across several hectares.

Established in 1975 by French entrepreneur Yves Rocher, the garden began as a collection site for medicinal and cosmetic plants used in natural product development.

The Conservatoire Français des Collections Végétales Spécialisées recognizes this garden for its national collection of artemisia plants used in traditional remedies.

Located at La Croix des Archers, the garden opens daily during warm months with free admission and features educational installations about plant conservation.

The garden functions as a research facility where scientists study organic plants at the International Research Centre to develop new cosmetic formulations.
