Plan your school field trip to the Jardin de Valombreuse
To ensure a successful outing, the garden offers activities for children, a ride on the Valombreuse Express electric train, a dedicated reception area, and an opportunity to explore local and global biodiversity—all of which will help remind children of the importance of conservation.
By visiting the Valombreuse Botanical Garden, your students will discover species endemic to the Caribbean that we are committed to safeguarding in order to preserve the full richness of our islands’ biodiversity.
