At the end of the domesticated plants area, the attraction "The challenge of extremes" is divided in 2 parts :

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • a 5 minutes movie in which the teacher of the park Terra Botanica will present how 4 plants know how to adapt to extreme climatic conditions : pine tree, le cactus, orchid, and et philodendron.

 

  • and from the cinema room, you will see in the background a first overview on the 4 extreme greenhouses that you will visit just after the introduction movie : the mist greenhouse, the tropical jungle, the arid desert, and at least the arctic one !

 

 
Fire : one of the 4 natural elements

In each extreme greenhouse, you can watch in real-time plants from the mist (orchid, fern...), tropical plants (creepers, philodendron...), plants from desert (cactus...) and the other ones (celles qui ont besoin du froid pour se développer : aster, lichen).

 

A unique experience to meet extraordinary plants.
