Enter Val Rahmeh - the Valley of Tranquillity - to discover nearly 1,700 plant species that showcase the diversity of the plant world. Here you will see specimens that are rare, endangered or even extinct in their native habitat, acclimatized and curated amidst ornamental, useful and edible plants, as well as typical local varieties. The scientific layout and landscaping make for a delightful stroll through different biogeographical and thematic zones featuring plants from humid tropical rainforest regions, tropical dry forest regions and Mediterranean regions, as well as poisonous and "magical" plants, aquatic plants, tropical fruit trees, citrus collections, and more. From the poisonous angel's trumpet, extinct in the wild, to the famous Menton lemon, this book invites you to explore the Val Rahmeh-Menton Botanical Garden, one of the most beautiful, lush and emblematic gardens of the French Riviera, dedicated to the preservation of biodiversity.
