Home to many wonderful species. Founded by Stanislas in 1758, it is Nancy's first botanical garden. It retained its botanical vocation until 1993, when the collections were moved to another larger site of the agglomeration: the current Botanical Garden Jean-Marie Pelt. Now, the garden, educational vocation, has the ambition to show the public horticultural collections of labeled plants, intended for the floral ornament of gardens. It bears the name of the famous botanist doctor, Dominique Alexandre Godron. The latter was the director of this garden in the second half of the 19th century.
Among the 61 trees in this garden, you will be able to admire an orange tree, a twisted beech tree, a tree with forty crowns (whose leaves inspired some of the artists of the School of Nancy), a tulip tree of Virginia or a great American walnut.
In addition to the rare trees and shrubs, it presents to the public collections of iris, peonies, geraniums and perennials as well as an interesting range of summer plants according to a theme that is renewed every year.
