The Exotic Garden

The Exotic Garden was opened in 1933. It has a wide variety of succulents in an outstanding open-air surrounding.

The plants in this garden come from various dry zones: the South-West of the United-States; Mexico; Central and South America; South Africa; Eastern Arabia and the Arabian Peninsula.
The flowering period is spread over the whole year depending on the place of origin of each species: winter for Aloes and African Crassula, spring and summer for most cacti.
