Mon Herbier Châtillonnais : Châtillon-sur-Indre, flore du jardin public

The flora of the public garden is essentially composed of ornamental trees and shrubs, a very high proportion of which are of exogenous origin (North America, Asia...). This garden was adjacent to the "Ursuline convent" and then to the hospital until 1910. The yew and plane trees, which reach a circumference of more than 2.50 m, are contemporary with these occupations. For some years now, it has been regularly maintained, which does not leave much room for wild plants. However, between 2 passages of the municipal teams, it is not rare to see some asparagus, orchids, primroses appear... And, nature doing its work, one will find spontaneous generations (a hackberry or an ailante which pushes at the foot of a yew), thus "escapes of garden"...
