Strictly academic when it was created in 1736, the Botanical Garden of the city of Caen then became municipal after the revolution. This change in status was accompanied by an evolution in missions. If the scientific vocation continues through the creation of collections and the conservation of plant diversity, it is now accompanied by educational and awareness-raising missions. But not only: a veritable green lung of 3.5 hectares, the Botanical Garden has become an essential component of the daily well-being of Caennais. Younger guests will find play areas and a discovery course. As for their elders, they will taste the pleasure of the landscaped park and the pleasure of being able to benefit from entertainment and horticultural advice throughout the year.
