context_page_description: The Jardin botanique de Metz, also known as the Jardin botanique de la Ville de Metz, is a 4.4-hectare botanical garden located at 27 ter, rue du Pont-à-Mousson, Montigny-lès-Metz, Moselle, Grand Est, France. It is open daily; admission is free.
  The garden was originally known as Frescatelly Park, an estate of Philippe d'Aubertin of Bionville, whose summer pavilion currently houses the directorate of the Department of Parks.

Its greenhouses were originally built on the city's esplanade in 1861, during the World Fair, and moved to the Botanical Garden in 1880.
  Today the garden contains a rose garden, fragrance garden, collection of grasses, flower beds, and a mature arboretum with Aesculus flava, bald cypress, Diospyros virginiana, Fagus sylvatica asplenifolia, ginkgo, Melia azedarach, sequoia, and Sophora japonica, as well as a large stand of hardy bamboo.
