Botanical Garden
Welcome to Jardin Scullion: A Botanical Wonderland
Discover the magic of Jardin Scullion, our enchanting botanical garden nestled in the heart of Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean. What began as a heartfelt backyard project and a small nursery, lovingly crafted by renowned artist and landscape designer Brian Scullion and his partner, Josée Fortin, has blossomed into a magnificent botanical garden and one of the region’s premier nurseries, particularly renowned for our exquisite conifers. Today, this beautiful legacy is carried forward by the next generation of the Scullion family.
Explore Our Haven
Spanning 40 hectares, our garden is home to over 2,000 plant species from around the globe, each thriving in its unique climate, ensuring that every visit is a new adventure.
