Localisation

Le jardin botanique est situé sur le territoire de la commune de Plouguiel, au lieu-dit Le Kestellic, dans le département des Côtes-d'Armor, en région Bretagne.

Description

La propriété date de 1880. Elle comprend une villa entourée d'un jardin exotique avec deux cascades, des bassins, un jet d'eau, des plantations exotiques (douglas, séquoias, tulipiers, cèdres...) , ainsi que l'aménagement d'une roseraie. En 1901, la villa est démolie et remplacée par un manoir de style breton néo-gothique dont la réalisation est confiée à l'architecte Félix Ollivier. Après la guerre, le nouveau propriétaire poursuit l'aménagement du jardin en y plantant 500 espèces exotiques.
