The Conservatoire du Bégonia is a botanical garden specializing in begonias. It is located at 1 rue Charles Plumier, Rochefort, Charente-Maritime, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France, and open for guided tours several days per week in early spring and late fall; an admission fee is charged.The conservatory was established in 1988 in honor of royal botanist Charles Plumier , who discovered begonias while on an American expedition, and Michel Bégon , expedition organizer and Rochefort intendant, for whom the flower was named in 1690. Thanks to their efforts, Rochefort was famed for its importation of exotic plants during the 17th-18th centuries, especially coffee. The conservatory's original 650 m2 floor space was extended in 1993 by a further 350 m2. Its collection has grown by trades, purchases, and expeditions to South America and Cameroon.
