Things to see and do Saint-Sampson

Located just outside the center of St. Sampson parish, this horticultural center is built on almost one hectare and features a large crop of freesias (sweet, fresh-smelling flowers) that grow in a warm greenhouse. During your visit to the nursery, you can also buy bulbs and flowers in the gift store. A very original souvenir to bring back! For horticulture lovers only.

The church of Saint Sampson is the oldest parish church on the island of Guernsey. It was built on the same site where Saint Sampson, one of the first missionaries, came from Dol, in Brittany, in the 550s. It is thus him who gave his name to the parish. The building that we can see today dates from the 12th century. Notice to the walkers, the adjoining cemetery is very beautiful, especially in autumn.
