In the heart of the city of Pau, the garden is home to a wide variety of azaleas, camellias, beech trees, cypresses and bonsai-cut spruces, as well as big redwoods. The bed of the brook which furrows the park consists of stones directly imported from the Pyrenees whose heights overhang the city.
Inaugurated in 2005 by the mayor of Pau and his Japanese counterpart on the occasion of the celebration of thirty years of twinning between the two cities, the garden does not open to the public until 2012, after restoration.
Pau is one of the most flowering cities in France and as such holds the "4 flowers" for many years.
