This article explores the savane of Guadeloupean writer and political figure Ernest Moutoussamy as a poetic and decolonial reimagining of the jardin créole. Traditionally understood as a post-plantation site of subsistence and resistance, the jardin créole is here extended into a multidimensional space that cultivates not only plants but also memory, spirituality, and poetic vision. In Ma savane natale, Moutoussamy reclaims his childhood savane—located on land once part of a sugar habitation—as both a personal sanctuary and a transgenerational archive. Its transformation into what he calls the Académie universelle de ma savane creates a literary and ecological space of homage, where thinkers such as Gandhi, Tagore, Césaire, and Condé are each symbolically paired with a tree, bearing witness to an ethics of relation across histories and cultures. While the article attends to Indian contributions to the jardin créole—often marginalised in ethnobotanical and historical studies—it considers more broadly Moutoussamy’s savane as an expanded, creolised vision of the garden in which Asian and Amerindian elements are uniquely intertwined. Drawing on literary analysis and interviews with the author, the article argues that Moutoussamy’s garden models a jardin créole that is both philosophical and ecological, rooted in Caribbean history and open to planetary futures. His practice fuses cultivation and composition, transforming the garden into a site of memory work, creolised ecology, and civic care. As such, it invites us to reconceive the jardin créole as a living practice of regeneration, relation, and repair.
