Jardin botanique d'Auvergne
The Jardin botanique d'Auvergne (9 hectares), also known as the Jardin botanique d'essais de Royat-Charade, is a botanical garden located in Charade, Royat, Puy-de-Dôme, Auvergne, France.
The garden was established in 2007 as a joint undertaking between the Jardin en Herbes association and the town of Royat. It has been planted with more than 150 types of local flora, and in 2008 began a collaboration with the Conservatoire botanique national du Massif central.
As present the garden's main areas include: a reception area, jardin d'altitude (plants of the Massif Central or sub-Alpine areas), reconstruction of an open and a closed environment, meadows and hedgerows, stream valley areas, space reserved for scientific study of plant species, ethnobotanical garden, magical garden based on popular beliefs, shrubs, and forest garden.
