Originally the garden of the abbey of the Bénédictes de la Déserte, it became a botanical garden for the students at the Centrale school in 1814 and was opened to the public in 1821. In 1857, all the collections of live plants were transported to the Parc de la Tête d'Or, which was in the process of being laid out.
