Jardin botanique du Thabor

About

The Thabor Botanical Garden (Breton: Liorzh louzawuriezh Tabor), also known as the Botanical Garden of the City of Rennes (Liorzh louzawuriezh Kêr Roazhon), is a compact but significant botanical garden located at the eastern side of the Thabor Park, Place Saint-Mélaine, Rennes, Ille-et-Vilaine, in the region of Brittany, France. It is open daily without charge. The garden was built in 1868 and consists of circular walkways around 11 beds growing over 3,000 species.

The wide park contains 129 species of trees, including 34 conifer species, as well as 373 shrub species. Its holdings also include about 1500 herbarium specimens. Between 2008 and 2018, the park was renovated.

This was explained by the presence of buxus parasites.
