Square des Etats Unis is a contemporary public garden in Menton, combining leisure, botanical discovery, and quiet walks. The garden suits Sunday strolls and quiet pauses.

The didactic botanical trail places tree names on the pavement and pairs them with drawings of their leaves. These pavement markings help visitors identify the trees.

Several tree species from around the world grow in the square, including Corynocarpus laevigata, Ficus macrophylla, and Schinus molle. Each species adds a distinct botanical reference here.

Corynocarpus laevigata, the New Zealand laurel, is an evergreen tree that can reach fifteen metres in height. Ficus macrophylla comes from eastern Australia and grows here.

Olmediella betschleriana comes from Guatemala and stands out as the only species in its genus. The evergreen Schinus molle is native to South America, particularly Peru.

The square also presents botanical learning through names and leaf forms embedded directly in the walking surface. Square des Etats Unis joins Menton’s network of parks and gardens.
