Shamrock Garden, Botanical garden in Varengeville-sur-Mer, France.
Shamrock Garden is a botanical garden in Normandy that specializes in hydrangeas and displays large collections of these plants. The grounds are divided into several sections, each offering different varieties and arrangements.
The project began in the 1980s as a private effort to build a hydrangea collection. It was later opened to the public and now holds an important French collection.
The garden was created by someone passionate about hydrangeas and reflects a deep commitment to growing this flower. Visitors can see how different varieties are planted side by side to display their different colors and bloom shapes.
The garden is located in a rural area and is best visited during the warmer months when plants are in full bloom. A visit takes a few hours to explore everything at a leisurely pace.
A large part of the collection comes from Asia and Europe, showing the range of varieties and their origins. This makes the garden an important place for understanding this plant family worldwide.
