Jardin Botanique

Cayenne, French Guiana, France

The Jardin Botanique in Cayenne, French Guiana, was established in 1877 to support colonial agricultural research and study local and exotic tropical flora.

It covers 78 hectares and was developed on land extending from Vlissengen Road to the former Sophia Plantation, transforming swampy pastures with lakes, irrigation systems, and cultivated flower beds. Key figures in its development include Trinidadian botanist H. Prestoe and gardener John Fredrick Waby, with George Samuel Jenman later arriving in 1880 to collect and label over 8,000 plant species.

Over time, the garden has evolved into a recreational and educational center promoting French Guiana’s diverse natural heritage, operating now under national park authorities and serving both botanical research and public enjoyment.
