Parc Gonzalez
Description
This small botanical garden with an area of 2400 m² is located at the entrance of the village (facing the Cigalou Park). It gives pride to the southern plants: mimosa, acacia, banksia, eucalyptus, grevillea, hakea, melaleuca, eremophilia ...
The Gonzalez Park was labeled "Remarkable Garden" in 2015: this distinction marks the recognition of the work done for several decades by the city of mimosa.
This unique park in Europe, a real gem in the heart of the village, is composed of more than 500 species of Australian plants. It was born thanks to the generosity of Vivianne Grimminger and Carmen Martinez who offered this plot of 3000 m2 to seal their story and that of the Gonzalez family in the city, so dear to Roberta Gonzalez, daughter of the sculptor Julio Gonzalez. A generous gesture that made it possible, in 2002, to the Gonzalez Park, to be realized thanks to Gilles Augias, in charge of the Service Espaces Vert and Gérard Cavatore, the mimosa specialist.

Sustainable tourism
On the heights of Bormes-les-Mimosas, the Parc Gonzalez extends over 2400 m². The rock outcrops in places give the impression of an immense rock garden overlooking the sea. Over 250 Australian species grow here: acacia, banksia, eucalyptus, grevillea, melaleuca... The land, which belonged to the painter Roberta Gonzalez, was bequeathed to the commune by her heirs. Restored and inaugurated in 2004, it has now been awarded the "remarkable garden" label. Whether on your own or with a guide, a stroll along its steep paths immerses you in luxuriant vegetation which, thanks to its variety of species, offers the garden the advantage of being in bloom all year round.
