When you feel the need to escape the hustle and bustle of the city for a short while the Garden of Plants is an ideal refuge. This botanical garden is situated to the south of the city of Rouen and is a popular meeting place for local residents. At the heart of the garden you will find a large central greenhouse which is over 170 years old. Here a large variety of plants from all around the world are nurtured. The greenhouse is also home to a variety of colorful birds including parrots, peacocks and more. A fairly recent addition to the garden is the meadow area where plants are grown to encourage bees – this section is known as the Honey Garden.
