The Jardin botanique de la Faculté de Pharmacie d'Angers (8000 m²) is a botanical garden and arboretum operated by the Faculty of Pharmacy of the University of Angers. It is located at 16 Boulevard Daviers, Angers, Maine-et-Loire, Pays de la Loire, France, and open weekdays without charge.
The garden was created from 1888-1895 via gradual transfer of the existing School of Botany collection from the Jardin des Plantes d'Angers. It was designed as two major sections of 4000 m² each, with a walkway between; one contains the systematic collection and a small, heated greenhouse (100 m²), with the other containing the arboretum. About 2000 plants in the garden are set out within 32 beds according to the early Bentham & Hooker system of classification. The garden has undergone only minor changes since its inception.
Today the garden contains about 2,200 species (2,700 taxa) as follows: systematic plant collection (2,000 taxa), trees and shrubs (315 taxa), greenhouse plants (250 species), useful and medicinal plants (175 taxa), and aromatic and spice plants (22 species).
