4,000 unique species of plant life
Located inside the larger Parc Borely, this beautiful botanical garden is named after its director, Édouard Marie Heckel. After having added additional land in 1913, the park is now complete with nearly 4,000 unique species of plant life. Some of these include palm trees, vines, medicinal plants, and foliage from China, Japanese, and South Africa. For an inexpensive fee, you can buy a ticket to explore the lovely grounds of flora and fauna. Learn about the origins of each flower and tree, and what it takes to grow and maintain such lush greenery in Southern France. E.M Heckel Botanical Garden is a great educational activity for kids, a special event.
