A rich and remarkable ecosystem of over3,000 species

All over the Flower Isle, you can visit exceptional parks and gardens, enchanting reflections of lush nature. 

Green spaces that highlight a flora rich in over 3,000 species: 1,220 native plants, 396 arborescent species and a multitude of colorful flowers, trees and fruits that coexist in harmony. Such is the case of the Jardin de Balata, a real must-see on the island and world-famous for its natural beauty. 

In 2015, 4 green spaces on Martinique were awarded the "Jardins remarquables" label: the garden at Habitation Acajou (or Clément) in Morne Rouge and the garden at Habitation Céron in Prêcheur. In 2022, three new parks were awarded this label: Jardin de Balata, Ferme Perrine in Lamentin and Jardin animalier de l'Anse Latouche in Carbet. The Jardin Remarquable label identifies to the general public "gardens whose design, plants and upkeep are of a remarkable standard, whether private or public, protected or not as monuments or sites".
