Short history of the Greenhouses of the Jardin des Plantes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To return to the origins\nof the Jardin des Plantes, let’s jump back several centuries. The current\ngarden is indeed located on the exact site of the former Royal Garden of\nmedicinal plants, created in 1635, and which would later become the Museum\nnational d’histoire naturelle (National Museum of Natural History), to which the Greenhouses now belong.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Royal Garden of Medicinal Plants has included several greenhouses, orangeries and winter gardens ever since the 17th century. But the buildings that are now home to the greenhouses were not built until much later, between 1834 and 1937. New buildings were added to the complex in 1995-1997, before the greenhouses were completely renovated in 2010. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
