Located on the east side of Nice, in a hilly region, north of the Phoenix Park, the Botanical Garden of Nice was set up in 1983, and ever since it significantly increased its floral collections, such that at present it shelters more than 3,500 species of plants on a total surface of 3 hectares.

These species, along with a range of landscape sets, reproduce the vegetable specificity of sundry Mediterranean climates: Greece, Mexico, Spain, the Canarian Islands, South Africa, California. A special highlight of the garden, and definitely one of the areas not to be overlooked, refers to the ethnobotanical collection, which is always an tempting invitation for visitors who want to get an insight into the way sundry nations have valued, from a cultural and medical point of view, this virtually inexhaustible resource of nature.

The herbarium displayed at the Botanical Garden of Nice is, it too, a worthy of attention.
