The bamboo collection was started by the spice millionarie Eugène Mazel in 1855 and taken over by the Nègre family in 1902. The climate is good for bamboos but bringing sufficient water to the site was expensive. The garden has an extensive collection of plants, in a dramatic location, and runs the world's largest bamboo nursery. The word Bambouseraie was coined to describe this place.

    If you have an interest in Bamboos this is a wonderful place to experience the authentic sensation of huge groves of canes not to mention the wonderful range of very happy plants both enormous and miniature. The various avenues pull you down into the far reaches of the garden and near the end of the recommended routing are fascinating landscape applications for the use of Bamboos. Give it a visit..well worth while.
