Jardin botanique du Thabor

{{Short description|French botanical garden}}

The Jardin botanique du Thabor ({{langx|br|Liorzh louzawouriezh Tabor}}), also known as the Jardin botanique de la Ville de Rennes (Liorzh louzawouriezh Kêr Roazhon), is a compact but significant botanical garden located at the eastern side of the Parc du Thabor, Place Saint-Mélaine, Rennes, Ille-et-Vilaine, in the region of Brittany, France. It is open daily without charge.

The garden was established in 1868 and consists of circular walkways around 11 beds growing over 3,000 species. The larger park contains 129 species of trees, including 34 conifer species, as well as 373 shrub species. Its holdings also include about 1500 herbarium specimens. Between 2008 and 2018, the park was renovated. This was complicated by the presence of buxus parasites.{{cite web |author= |date=24 June 2018 |title=A Rennes.
