Description of heritage

  • Descriptif du centre d'interprétation
    Nestling on the banks of the River Mauves at Meung-sur-Loire, the Ilex Arboretum is a veritable garden of freshness. A stroll along the water's edge leads you to discover the various collections brought together here with science and passion.

    The most extensive collection has given its name to the garden: a collection of 500 varieties of ilex (holly) recognised since 1991 as a national collection by the Conservatoire des Collections Végétales Spécialisées. It has since been enriched by the clematis collection and one of the only two national collections of Astilbes in France. Throughout the year, the garden is full of flowers that contrast with the green of the holly bushes.
