Inauguration of the Tiare Tahiti Conservatory on June 2, 2022
This project, the result of a cooperation started in 2016, highlights the different species of Gardenia
found in French Polynesia. An educational and scientific project, this conservatory aims to better
understand the properties and origins of this emblematic flower of Tahiti and its islands. The Tiare
Tahiti (Gardenia taitensis) is used in the composition of Monoi de Tahiti, but is also the most used plant
in the Polynesian pharmacopoeia.
