Jardin de Saint-Adrien, Botanical garden in Servian, France.
The Jardin de Saint-Adrien is a botanical garden covering roughly four hectares with four substantial water features ringed by varied plant collections. Natural rock outcrops are incorporated throughout the landscape, creating visual interest across the grounds.
The site began as a medieval stone quarry before being transformed into a botanical garden. The existing geological features left by the quarrying were incorporated into the landscape design that visitors see today.
The garden is named after Saint-Adrien and draws visitors who value how the water features and plant collections work together in a thoughtful design. The layout encourages people to explore each area at their own pace and discover connections between the different zones.
The garden is open from late March through early November, allowing you to explore the grounds at your own pace. Guided tours are available on select evenings during the warmer months if you prefer a guided experience with knowledgeable commentary.
The four water features occupy former quarry pits and host water lilies and lotus flowers in distinct settings. Around these water areas, pine trees and Mediterranean plants create a drier backdrop that contrasts with the aquatic zones.
