The Jardin Exotique de Roscoff (Breton: Liorzh Ezotek Roscoff) (1.6 hectares) is a botanical garden located in Roscoff, Finistère, in the region of Brittany, France. It is open daily; an admission fee is charged.[1]
History
editThe garden was begun in 1986 when the département of Finistère purchased the rocky outcrop Roc'h Hievec, and a group of amateurs interested in subtropical plants decided to create a garden on the spot.[2]
Plants
editToday the garden contains about 3,350 plants from the Southern Hemisphere, including Australia and New Zealand, the Canary Islands, and South America. Collections include representatives of the genera Acacia, Agave, Aloe, Echium, Eucalyptus, Pelargonium, Geranium, Fuchsia, Passiflora, and Yucca, as well as various cacti and palms.
