The Treuscoat Gardens
The Jardins de Treuscoat are located in Scaër in the Vallée de l'Isole, 25 km from Quimperlé. They are a garden of a thousand colours and scents...
Liliane and Alex, two botany enthusiasts
In central Finistère, you'll find Liliane and Alex and their magnificent plant gardens. Both passionate about botany, they set about developing and clearing their 4.5 hectare garden 25 years ago! They tell us that at the outset, these gardens were simply an extension of their 6-hectare private garden, which had run out of space for new plants.
Cuttings, seedlings, there's no secret to it: Liliane and Alex have worked hard to create their gardens, with a good dose of love!
Today, and since 2015, they invite you to admire the constant spectacle of new blooms in their superb gardens.
A garden from the four corners of the world
During their travels, Liliane and Alex have visited many parks and gardens around the world, particularly in Northern Europe: England, Scotland, Germany and the north of the Loire...
Guided by their passion for botany, these trips have given them the opportunity to bring in plants from a wide variety of origins! Today, they also work with manual pollination to create new and unusual species. They've registered around twenty of them to date, the first bearing the name of the Gardens: Treuscoat!
You can take a stroll through the heart of the Treuscoat Gardens, with its 1,000 varieties of rhododendron, 120 varieties of camellia, 100 varieties of hydrangea and many other rare shrubs... just to name a few!
