Bois du Puits Garden

Belforêt-en-Perche, France, France

---

The Bois du Puits Garden, or Jardin du Bois du Puits, is a 4–4.5 hectare botanical and floral garden near the village of Sérigny in Belforêt‑en‑Perche, Orne department in Normandy, France.

Created by retired nursery and landscape‑garden specialists, it opened to the public around 2010–2012 and now displays more than 2,000–2,500 plant varieties, including rare trees, shrubs, and perennials, all labeled in both French and Latin to help visitors learn names and species.

The garden is laid out as a thematic walk through scents, shapes, and seasons, with English‑style planting, small sculptures, and quiet green spaces, plus an orangery that hosts seasonal exhibitions and a refreshment area called “Pause au jardin.”

It is open from early May to late September on afternoons, mainly on weekends and public holidays, with a modest entrance fee and free admission for children under around 12–15 years, and it also offers a natural camping area and a yurt on the edge of the park for visitors who want to stay overnight close to the garden.
