A horticultural park enjoying a particular microclimate, the Floral Garden
is home to more than 600 mostly identified plants. Located on the
mountainside, this enchanting place is home to horticultural collections,
thematic gardens, ponds and waterfalls. It is a garden with educational,
cultural and community purposes where it is possible to enjoy equipped
picnic areas. Belvederes offer panoramic views of the 2.5 hectares of the
Garden.
The main theme of the garden is stone due to the relief of the garden.
There are waterfalls and ponds surrounded by flower beds, rockeries, a
flowery stream, terraced gardens and large rocky cliffs. Several
developments are the result of the creativity of student interns from the
Institute of Agro-Food Technology (ITA), La Pocatière campus, and
volunteers from the Society of Horticulture and Ecology of
Kamouraska-L'Islet.
